Articulated Squash Blossom Earrings

Navajo

About The Articulated Squash Blossom Earrings

Sterling silver from mill-rolled sheet and drawn wire was used in fabrication of the articulated pendants and ear wires.  The top portion of each drop is set with a high grade intense deep blue natural Lone Mountain mine red matrix turquoise. 

The bezel is smooth with an understated but well executed sheet strip and wire twise frame.  Three petal blossoms, made of cute and carved sheet, pre-stamped with delicate radiant rounds, suspend from the turquoise settings.  Earwires are shaped and hammered, at the front, to prevent escape of a small silver bead.
