Kingman Turquoise Daisy Earrings

Veranda Kallestewa's sterling silver, Kingman turquoise and perhaps pen shell or jet channel inlay daisy flower earrings will lift your spirits in an instant. The Kingman turquoise mine in Arizona is the last remaining commercially producing mine in the United States. Veranda taught her daughter Benina Kallestewa the silversmithing and lapidary techniques of soldering and how to shape stones when Benina was still a teenager. Veranda's grandson Vernal is also a jeweler. Express your personal style with these approximately 7/8" long, 7/8" wide and 1/8" deep, lightweight posy earrings for pierced ears. Signed by the artist.
