Blue Gem turquoise was used to make jewelry predominately in the 1940s and 1950s. The stunning sky blue color, when contrasted against a sterling silver background, became a symbol of Southwestern jewelry.
These delicate, finely-made earrings are an excellent example of jewelry made with Blue Gem turquoise. They are screw-back for the person who does not want pierced earrings.
Condition: original condition
Provenance: this pair of Navajo Screw Post Earrings with Blue Gem Turquoise was purchased by the current owner’s grandmother on a trip to Arizona in the 1940s.
