Made in a timeless/classic style,this design is one that will never get boring no matter how far we go in design! They are set in a simple bezel design,which is the # 1 choice when an artist wants to accentuate & showcase the beauty of the stones. It's also a style that's probably one of the most popular among women when they want a very wearable in size, "Go-To" earring that they can wear with just about every wardrobe, day or night!
They are totally made by hand where Leon made his own concho 'Button' tops, which then act as the anchor for the perfectly matched, oval shaped drop. These look to be cut from the same slab & it looks like they were specifically cut for a pair of earrings since the ovals match that well! The turquoise has an very unusual -unique color blue that's not a 'turquoise' color that we normally see & each cut has both dark brown matrix with black in the stone, which mutes the blue tone down somewhat.
They are the perfect size for women who love a traditional Navajo earring but can't do long.With these,you can dress these up OR down! Don't matter with this style! And because of their contemporary edginess, they can be worn in OR out of the southwest!
