Native American Sterling Silver Turquoise, 12.23g

Updated August 25, 2026

This pair of Native American earrings is handcrafted from sterling silver, each featuring an oval cabochon of natural spiderweb turquoise set in a hand-fabricated bezel. The front displays distinctive freeform wirework with applied silver beads, forming an organic vine-like motif. On the reverse, both earrings are stamped STERLING and signed "JOE," identifying the maker as an unidentified Native American silversmith. The detailed construction and bold design suggest late 20th-century Navajo or Pueblo craftsmanship. Measuring approximately 1¾ inches (4.4 cm) in length with a total weight of 12.23 grams, these earrings include post backs with clutch closures. They show excellent vintage condition with light age-appropriate patina, highlighting their artistic approach to Southwestern Native American jewelry.
