Description

Navajo Sterling Silver & Turquoise Chandelier Earrings – 19.26g

A dramatic pair of Navajo handcrafted sterling silver chandelier earrings showcasing fifteen natural turquoise cabochons in traditional cluster settings. The stones, ranging from approximately 6.34 x 3.69 mm to 3.39 mm in diameter, are bezel-set in hand-cut serrated bezels, their sky-blue hues typical of prized Southwestern turquoise such as Sleeping Beauty or Kingman. The earrings are composed of three articulated tiers, each section adorned with turquoise clusters, and finished with sterling raindrop dangles that create graceful movement.

Measuring 3.38 inches in length by 1.12 inches wide, and weighing 19.26 grams overall, these earrings are bold yet wearable. The latching French hook posts provide secure closure. Reflecting mid-to-late 20th century Navajo silversmithing, this pair combines cultural artistry with the striking appeal of chandelier earrings. An ideal piece for collectors of Native American jewelry or those seeking a unique statement accessory.

Condition

In good vintage condition, with stones secure in their settings. Light surface wear, patina, and minor tarnish are present, consistent with age and use. The silver has not been polished, leaving that choice to the buyer. Hooks and hinges are intact and functional.
