About The Blue Gem Turquoise Pendant Earrings 1930's

All fabrication for these stunningly sophisticated ear ornaments was accomplished using sheet and wire hand-mill rolled, drawn from silver ingot of sterling quality.  The copper wire loops, inside the buttons, have been retained and re-used with new ingot wire replacements for the damaged ones that could not be saved.  Two intense blue, with golden brown matrix, natural turquoise stones were hand cut and set in smooth backed bezel frames.

These high grade statement large tear drops are from the Blue Gem mine in Nevada, measuring 15/16" X 9/16" at their widest point.
