Sterling and Turquoise Native American retailer dangle earrings

These earrings consist of hand stamped sterling silver conchos with turquoise dangling from them. They measure 2 1/2" from the top of the ear wire to the bottom of the turquoise. They weigh 4 grams each. The stones measure 16 mm in diameter.The conchos were made by a Native American artist, but are not hallmarked.

These are nice lightweight "everyday" earrings

Turquoise is dear retailer to many old world cultures, rumored to bring good fortune, protection and a symbol of wealth. Its blue and green hues have an emotionally calming effect.
The Navajo ascribes beauty, power and protection to this stone.

In general, I leave the natural patina on silver pieces. If you make a purchase and want a polished look, please specify.
