Thank you!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA pair of Zuni sterling silver dangle earrings with channel-inlay turquoise in an open teardrop form. Each drop is set with hand-cut turquoise pieces fitted into thin sterling channels, radiating around an openwork center — a technique long associated with Zuni lapidary work.\u003cbr\u003eBoth earrings are marked STERLING on the reverse, together with the artisan's \"RL\" hallmark. They hang from sterling French hook ear wires.\u003cbr\u003eThe turquoise shows a soft blue-green color with natural variation between the inlaid segments. The channel work is neatly fitted, with the silver dividing lines crisp and even across both drops.\u003cbr\u003eThe reverse carries a natural age patina to the silver, consistent with a vintage piece; this can be gently polished if a brighter finish is preferred. No cracks, no missing or lifted inlay, and no chips to the stones were found.\u003cbr\u003eCondition: very good vintage. Sound inlay, intact ear wires, and clear hallmarks. Light wear and silver patina commensurate with age. Please review all photos as part of the description.\u003cbr\u003eMeasurements: each earring approximately 1 in long × 0.5 in wide. Pair weight 5.27 g.","brand":"SW Curated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50966749643004,"sku":"ced_32509128096","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/6053\/0940\/files\/il_fullxfull.8054950330_qojv.jpg?v=1786432442","url":"https:\/\/swcurated.com\/products\/reserved-for-elaine-zuni-sterling-silver-turquoise-inlay-teardrop-dangle-earrings-signed-native-american","provider":"SW Curated","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
