Turquoise stones and silver drops dangle on this pair of vintage sterling silver Zuni petit point earrings. Each earring is topped by a single 1.8mm green turquoise stone backed by an earring post. A large 9/16 inch open silver ring with a cluster row of five hand cut green-blue stones dangles below each stud. Both earrings were finished with five silver dangles.
The turquoise vary in color, shape and size. The earring posts and dangles on this pair tested as sterling silver (no hallmarks). Both of the push-on backs are replacements and are NOT sterling silver. One is marked, "1/20 12k GF" (gold filled) and the other is brass or base metal.
There is some vintage patina and rustic qualities to the craftsmanship on this pair. There may also be other vintage age wear, such as fine scratches to the silver. Overall, this pair is in very good vintage condition. Please see below for detailed measurements and photos for condition.

Each vintage piece has been examined by a graduate gemologist. Stone carat weights stated represent approximate weights which can vary by the limitations of measuring set gems.

This is what makes each piece special and unique!
