Southwestern Sterling Silver Feather Drop Earrings Vintage Navajo Lapis Blue 1.25" This exceptional pair of vintage Southwestern drop earrings demonstrates the exquisite craftsmanship characteristic of traditional Navajo artisan benchwork from the late 20th century. The visual architecture features a two-tier articulated silhouette, beginning with a rich, deeply saturated cobalt blue oval stone cabochon safely nestled within a hand-notched, serrated sterling silver bezel setting. Suspended gracefully from a soldered jump ring, the lower drop consists of a smooth, matching blue tube spacer bead that leads to a beautifully detailed, hand-stamped metallic feather charm with chemically oxidized barbs and an antiqued silver patina.Meticulously hand-benched from solid 925 sterling silver, these multi-segmented earrings are engineered with rigid vertical post-stud backings to ensure comfortable, secure lobe placement. The independent connection loops allow the free-swinging feathers to capture kinetic movement and ambient light dynamically, delivering an authentic Western Americana presence. Perfectly capturing the moody mysticism of Southwestern Gothic and festival-ready Desert Core aesthetics, these rare vintage statement earrings serve as an elite wearable art acquisition for collectors of heirloom-grade native regional jewelry.Brand: Unbranded / Artisan Southwestern Studio Made Type: Drop / Dangle Earrings Style: Vintage Navajo Style / Western Americana / Southwestern Gothic Metal Composition: Assumed Solid 925 Sterling Silver Main Stone: Lapis Blue Oval Cabochon (Lapis Lazuli or High-Grade Studio Glass) Stone Setting: Hand-Notched Serrated Bezel Mount Drop Style: Articulated Multi-Segmented Free-Swinging Feather Charm Closure Type: Lobe Post / Stud Backing Design Accents: Stamped Feather Barbs, Smooth Blue Tube Spacer Bead, Antiqued Chemical Oxidation Patina Estimated Era: Vintage Circa 1980s - 1990s Condition: Excellent Used Condition (EUC).
