vintage Navajo-style turquoise and sterling silver post earrings

Material: Solid sterling silver, marked Sterling on the back (indicating handwrought Native American or Southwestern work, mid-century onward). • Stones: Natural turquoise cabochons, oval-cut and bezel-set in traditional saw-tooth settings. • Accents: Each earring features three small silver “raindrop” beads beside the stone and a hand-twisted rope border, both classic Navajo silversmithing motifs. • Backs: Post-style backs (less common on early pieces; suggests later 1970s–1990s craftsmanship).
