Vintage Silver & Turquoise Clip-On Earrings – Zuni Style
A pair of vintage silver earrings with articulated openwork pendants, decorated with individually set turquoise cabochons.
Each earring combines three oval cabochons and a small round turquoise above a diamond-shaped pendant outlined with eleven additional stones. Their colours range from pale green to blue-green and brighter turquoise, with occasional darker matrix markings. The open centres give the geometric composition an airy appearance.
The small individual settings suggest Zuni or related Southwestern workmanship, although the attribution remains tentative in the absence of a signature or documented provenance.
