Navajo Artisan DARRELL WYLIE- Polychrome Sonoran Mountain- Sonoran Gold Turquoise -Drop Sterling Earrings-Very Wearable! 2 Choices!
SALE FOR 1 PAIR-CHOOSE BETWEEN DESIGN 1 (TEAR DROP CUT DROP-PHOTOS 1 THROUGH 8 ) OR DESIGN 2 (OVAL CUT DROP-PHOTOS 9 THROUGH END)
I have to admit, what really caught my eye with both of these earrings was not only for their signature Santa Fe'an/Western edgy look, but the stones that were hand picked for each pair, really speak volumes when it comes to the killer character & color they have! And it's rocks such as these, with this type of character & color being the main reason as to why Sonoran turquoise is so widely sought after by buyers who ache to get their hands on just about anything made with it.!
Both are made with 2 types of polychrome Sonoran turquoise, where the blue tops are Sonoran Mountain & the bottoms are Sonoran Gold. The top stone is actually soldered on the same sheet that holds the cross (See backside photo) & which then acts as the anchor for the luscious green drop. Both earrings are made the same way, but what separates them, is the shape of the drop. Design 1 has a tear drop shape cut, whereas the bottom on Design 2 has a oval cut drop.
They are very wearable on the ears (See weights below) & will make a great anytime, anywhere, anyplace "go to" earring!

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
*****Please Note:
I am not a professional photographer, but I do try to do my best at giving you accuracy in color. Warmer toned pieces & especially anything with yellow,(oranges,green) can come up more vibrant & seriously saturated by picking up and showing all their yellow tones. I photographed these in front of 2 different backdrops, so please take go through all the photos to see any variation.
In order to give you close up photos so I can provide you with all the detail,the item can tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified than in actuality.So to get an accurate idea of how big these are,please either check them out being worn to get a rough idea (photo 2) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements..
