Estate NOS Sterling Silver Inlay Stud Dangle Earrings Turquoise

These exquisite Sterling Silver earrings combine modern artistry with traditional Craftsmanship. The intricate patterns and bold colors make them a versatile addition to your jewelry collection, ensuring you stand out wherever you go. Stamped 'sterling', the earrings are made in a Native American style but are not stamped with a maker's mark, and we cannot verify their origins. The earrings measure approximately 26.3 mm tall and 10.4 mm wide and weigh approximately 3.49 grams, secured with butterfly backs. These earrings are new and old - part of an estate collection that was never worn. A nearly identical pair with more green Turquoise is also available.

Turquoise, an ancient and revered gemstone, is celebrated for its distinctive blue-green hues, ranging from sky blue to vibrant green. This opaque mineral, a hydrated phosphate of copper and aluminum, often features intricate matrix patterns, adding to its unique character. With a hardness of 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale, it's relatively soft, requiring gentle care. Historically significant in many cultures, particularly in Native American traditions, Turquoise is valued for its beauty and perceived protective qualities.
