Four Petal Dangling Earrings
Navajo
- About The Four Petal Dangling Earrings
Graceful little silver four petal blossoms dangle gracefully from beneath old fluted buttons in this pair of "salvaged treasure" earrings.
The blossoms and buttons were part of a collection found in an old wooden box. Ear wires were hand crafted from the buttons and draw plate wire so that the blossoms could be worn as earrings. The wires are also conveniently designed, so that other pendants can also be attached!!!
Everything about this pair of ear ornaments is beautiful and versatile. The traditional heavy gauge wires are more comfortable for heavier pedants. Navajo are more comfortable for heavier pendants. Navajo's are not only artists when they work in silver. They are practical engineers.
Beauty and comfort go hand in hand.
