About The Scroll Pendant Silver & Turquoise Earrings

These water-related earrings (swirl design) sport chisel stamp lines.

The scrolls were tufa cast with a and-cut bezel added to cup each turquoise stone.

Executed in a style less formal, these are exceedingly comfortable to the eye and to wear. They will suit any occasion, an elegant finishing touch.

About Navajo

The Navajo were the first of the Native Americans of the Southwest to learn silversmithing from the Spanish. Most Navajo jewelry emphasizes silver, with turquoise stones used as an accent. Some pieces are cast in sand or tufa molds, while others are hammered, using a male stamp and a female die.
