Vintage Navajo Silver Multi Stone Inlay Earrings Clips

About the Piece:

A pair of vintage Navajo sterling silver earrings set with bold inlay in turquoise, red spiny oyster, and jet. Contemporary in style, the geometric inlay earrings are framed by a scalloped silver border, giving them a concho-like aesthetic.

This style of Navajo jewelry was all the rage in the 1990s. In fact, a good friend of mine saved up his money back then so that he could buy a similar heart-shaped pair and present them to his serious girlfriend as a token of his love.

Signed “BB,” these earrings are comfortable clips, so you can wear them even without pierced ears. They're also slightly larger than many of this style, so they have presence on the ears. They measure 1 7/16" x 1 3/16".

These come from a New York City collection.
