JSW799 Turquoise Dangle Earrings

Sterling silver dangle earrings by master silversmith Darrell Cadman. The silver applique earrings have 1/4” x 3/8” Kings Manassa turquoise cabochons. The total length of the earrings is 2 1/4”. Standard posts

Darrell has perfected the traditional art of cluster work. His most popular work is this style, made from heavy silver and lots of stones. The silver is filled with his traditional Navajo techniques consisting of distinctive deep stamping in traditional cultural patterns. Darrell consistently focuses on texture and depth:  some pieces are highly adorned while others have a clean and simple line.

This stone is a favorite of gold and silversmiths in the southwest, when they can get it! The mining at the Manassa Turquoise mine at this time, is at a standstill. Most of the Colorado Turquoise mines are not operational at this time.
