About The Sky Blue Natural Turquoise Inlay Post Earrings

Streamlined elegance is the best description for these beautiful Zuni drop earrings!

Created in the early 1970's, this airy channel inlay of sky blue natural turquoise is compatible with any style--day or evening. The looped tear drop-shaped pendant is suspended with soldered hand-made linkage from a neat, reverse drop inlaid post.

What is special is the lace-like quality of the silver channel work left unfilled in the drop. The blackened space provides visual depth and contrast between the blue stone and the open area in the center of each design.

Native American jewelry has a gift for gracing its wearer. These earrings are perfect examples of this quality in both style and movement.
