Laguna Pueblo Very Old Hoop Earrings with Bead

Jewelry items worn for adornment by the Pueblo Indians in the early 20th century were simple and elegant at the same time. These silver hoop earrings with a single bead are a wonderful example of this style.

The artist most likely used a very old handmade bead and repurposed it by attaching it to a silver hoop. It is hard to determine when this was done, but the beads look to be from the early 20th century.

Condition: the earrings are in excellent condition.

Provenance: these Laguna Pueblo Very Old Hoop Earrings with Bead are from a Santa Fe collector.
