VTG Sterling Half Hoop Earrings Raised Inlay Turquoise Coral Native American The more you study these incredible earrings, the more artistry you see. Not only is the silver base a perfect arc, but it tapers to a very fine point. The artist didn't shy away from this point in the inlay section; the final piece of inlay has an even finer point. The artist used a mosaic inlay technique to set the geometrically-shaped stones. And they're set so that they sit above the top of the silver channel, giving them a 3D look. The geometric inlay pattern contrasts very nicely with the curvature of the earrings. The artist used pale turquoise, onyx, coral and gold shell (gold lip mussel shell) on a sterling silver base. From top to bottom, they're about 1  3/8" tall. From back to front, they're about 3/4" deep. They are 5/16" at their widest. Together, the pair weighs 5.9 g. It is a true shame that the artist didn't sign these. Given the lapidary, design, and construction, he or she was likely Zuni. Touch of Turquoise invites you to Wear the West! Condition: Pre-owned.
