Sterling Silver, Turquoise and Coral Reversible Snake Eye Earrings [SOLD]

At first glance, these mid-century Zuni Pueblo earrings look like a pair of well made coral snake eye earrings. Looking closely, another set of earrings appears. The talented and creative artist set a mirror image of turquoise stones backing the coral ones. Each stone in this unique set of earrings has been carefully cut and shaped and set into a sawtooth bezel. When worn, the coral side is most visible, but the turquoise side shows as the earrings dangle. The earrings are not signed.

Condition: The Sterling Silver, Turquoise and Coral Reversible Snake Eye Earrings are in excellent condition. All of the stones are intact and secure.

Provenance: From a Colorado Southwest Indian Jewelry Collection
