Vintage Navajo Earrings of Oval Turquoise in Silver

About the Piece:

These vintage Navajo earrings are simple as can be, but that's where their magic lies. Just look at their gorgeous green turquoise stones set inside a tiny hand-cut sawtooth bezel. That's it, but it's so much! The turquoise inside each oval earring is matched but slightly different in the matrix and character. 

These are the earrings that you'll reach for to wear with your beads or tab necklace of green turquoise. You'll grab them again to wear with your Navajo pearls and again when you put on your white clam shell heishi. They're understated enough to go with just about everything in your Native jewelry collection - even some of your ultra contemporary pieces. You'll have fun putting them together with all the different looks.

The vintage turquoise earrings measure 3/4" x 1/2" and are unsigned.
