Small Golden hIlls turquoise w/ detailed stamping

Handcrafted earrings by Navajo artist Thomas Francisco. The earrings feature small oval turquoise stones from the Golden Hills mine with a detailed mounting. The sterling silver has a brushed finish giving it a antiqued look. The mounting mesures 1/2" x 3/8" with a total length of 1-1/4". The simple design of the earrings make them easy to wear. 

Stone: In the Russian hills of Kazakhstan sits the GOLDEN HILLS mine. The Turquoise is only mined in the winter months during the freezing cold and snow as rains flood the mine during the summer. The location of the mine is remote and difficult to bring equipment in and out of. It is the only Turquoise known to have the unique coloring of bright blue with a Lavender undertone.
