A high-grade cabochon of turquoise hangs from a skillfully stamped squash blossom post in these late 20th Century earrings. The unknown artisan fashioned the post to resemble a small squash blossom. From the post dangles a beautiful teardrop-shaped turquoise stone set in a straight-edged bezel and framed by twisted wire. The earrings are stamped “sterling” but do not bear the hallmark of an artist.
Condition: The Earrings with Squash Blossom Post and Tear Drop Turquoise are in excellent condition.
Provenance: The earrings are from a large Southwest Indian Jewelry collection we have recently acquired.
