Navajo ARNOLD BLACKGOAT Kingman Turquoise Hand Stamped 925 CLIP Earrings
Navajo ARNOLD BLACKGOAT Kingman Turquoise Hand Stamped 925 CLIP Earrings
Arnold designs with a brilliant,skilled eye,that never seems to fail using the right stamps onto the metal, in order to highlight stones he uses.The sterling is so artistically stamped & shows sense of balance & fluidity. Stampwork like Arnold's,is not something every artist can do with skill & it is truly a 'art form' & isn't learned overnight!
Used in these, are chunky ovals of true turquoise tones,with brown matrix.
These are a 'clip' earring & if you do not wear clips,these can easily be converted to posts,by having a reputable jeweler remove the stone,in order to solder the post.The oxidation left in the crevices,would have to be replenished.
