For your consideration is this Navajo sterling silver and turquoise dangle earring collection. There are four pairs of earrings in this collection. The first is a wire hook dangle earring set. These earrings have silver bench beads, turquoise nuggets, and long silver cones strung on wire in a loop. These earrings measure 2 1/2" x 3/4". The next is a set of earrings with a 'sterling' mark on the back. These earrings are a teardrop shape with turquoise and red coral chips inlayed. The earring gives the image of a Peyote Bird. These earrings are on posts and measure 1 3/4" X 1". The next set of earrings is silver "Wings" with a turquoise cabochon set on each. The back of one earring is marked ‘Sterling’ and ‘GG’ (Gertie Ganadonegro). The turquoise Sleeping Beauty cabochon is 1/4" round. The earrings measure 2 1/2" X 5/8". The last is a set of dangle earrings with a double teardrop shape. Each teardrop has a small square turquoise stone set at an angle. Between the tear drops is a small mother of pearl square and four silver drops. The earrings are on lever back mounts and are marked with the artist’s initials, EG for Elliot Gasper, a Zuni silversmith. These earrings measure 1 1/2" long by 3/8". The condition of these earrings is good.
