Earrings with Three Hoops, Single Bead and Small Squash Blossom [SOLD]

An amazingly talented Diné artisan fabricated these unique and unusual sterling silver earrings. Every element of fine craftsmanship is apparent in these earrings. From a repoussé post dangle three handmade hoops that swing through a small section of silver. A single, stamped, handmade Navajo pearl was placed on the largest hoop. A tiny squash blossom hangs in the center of the three hoops. All the pieces sway with graceful elegance. They are a one of a kind pair, crafted with creativity and tradition. They date from the mid-20th Century.

Provenance: From a gentleman Southwest Indian Jewelry collector in Colorado
