These beautiful earrings consist of fine turquoise, coral, black onyx, spiny oyster, mother of pearl, and opal inlay, all set in sterling silver. The frame surrounding the stone has been delicately stamped to create a subtly ruffled pie crust edge. Post and friction backs hold well. The earrings are marked W. J. 925. This is the hallmark of Navajo artist Wilson Jim, though the inlay work is more typically seen in Zuni jewelry. These earrings are bold and modern, even while preserving traditional design and construction methods.
Measure 7/8 inch in diameter and rise 1/4 inch proud. Total weight of both earrings is 16 grams (0.6 ounce).
Excellent vintage condition.
