Triple Loop Post Earrings Flush Bezel Set with 46 Small Round Turquoise Stones

- About The Triple Loop Post Earrings Flush Bezel Set with 46 Small Round Turquoise Stones
Body fabrication of the earrings was made with mill rolled and drawn sheet and wire of sterling silver ingot. Tiny bezels for 46 inlays were meticulously cut, shaped and soldered in rows on each of the hammered hoops and in the shape of a small flower for the earrings top.
The finest deep blue natural turquoise was then cut to fit each 1/16" diameter round opening and finished flush with the bezel edge, so that each blue gem is ringed in light. A nice pooled silver drop punctuates the ends of every hoop inlay row.
