    Description

    These earrings are AMAZING!  A total of 24 cabs of the most beautiful, natural Royston Turquoise you have ever seen in a sterling silver setting.  Varying in shades of blue and green the color variation and matrix is outstanding.  Earrings are clip ons which can be converted under the care of a jeweler however, these earrings are quite substantial and there was good reason the artist chose to make them clip on style.  After consulting several jewelers, all agreed this is the smartest way to wear them if you care about comfort and protecting your earlobes.  Your decision.  I chose to keep them clip ons and get clip on cushions and was happy with my decision!  I cannot express enough how beautiful these earrings are...a truly impressive  piece that will be an heirloom for generations to come.  Exquisite work made and signed by Navajo artist Patricia Platero of New Mexico.  This well known Silversmith is now deceased and her work has become highly sought after by collectors.  Earrings measure approximately 2.5 inches long.  Top portion is approximately 1 inch wide and bottom portion is approximately 1.5 inch in diameter for a total drop of 2.5 inches.  Comprised of high quality silverwork and high grade Royston, earrings weigh approximately 35 grams together.
