Elgin Tom Triangle shape dangle earrings

Elgin Tom Born in Gallup New Mexico, Elgin learned to silversmith when he was growing up and helped his father and grandfather, both of whom made fine handcrafted jewelry. His grandfather made all of his own unique stamps by hand and crafted jewelry using stamp work techniques and bezel set turquoise. Today, Elgin is a fine craftsman and like to create his jewelry using natural turquoise tones. Elgin creates his pieces as he is working on them letting the design evolve as part of the silversmith process. His creations include the traditional stamp work techniques that he learned as a child. Elgin also creates contemporary pieces that are inspired by his own unique creative process as he works with the silver and stones he selects. Elgin has four children who are learning his family's fine silversmithing techniques.

These beautifully handmade pair of earrings were crafted and signed by acclaimed Navajo silversmith Elgin Tom. The very unique triangle shape is approximately 1/2″on each side and approximately 1/2 "at the bottom. Every tiny little mark in the "Basket Weave" design was hand stamped by the artist one at a time. They are perfect for any occasion while being casual enough to wear out shopping. They are shown a silver wire but can be converted to a post(no charge) at your request. These are certain to become a family heirloom.
