These dramatic Santa Fe style earrings are as easy to wear as they are beautiful to look upon. The pendants are salvaged history from a small Harvey Company/ Maisel style silver concho link belt.
The tops are hand made and inlaid with matching natural green turquoise. There are large silver backs on the posts, so you can do the town (or a six hour benefit) in style and comfort.
Hair up or down, jeans or broom stick skirt (even little black dress), this pair of earrings are the perfect accessory for anyone not afraid of a little flamboyance!!!
