Turquoise Shadowbox Teardrop Earrings, Navajo Sterling Silver

Navajo silversmiths created these classic shadowbox earrings featuring natural turquoise cabochons set inside deeply oxidized, domed sterling silver teardrop forms. The shadowbox setting — in which the stone sits recessed within a raised silver surround — creates strong visual contrast between the bright turquoise and dark oxidized silver, and is a hallmark of traditional Navajo earring design that has been produced since the mid-20th century. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
