This is a pair of gorgeous vintage Royston turquoise earrings from a Native American estate collection. The earrings are made of solid sterling silver and set with the turquoise stones. The turquoise measures 7/8" long x 1/2" wide. The earrings measure 1 1/4" long x 3/4" wide. The clip backs are tight. The total weight of the pair is 12.1grams/7.8dwt. The earrings are signed "T. & R.S."
This jewelry is not pre-owned, which also means that it is not used. It is new, but may look pre-owned because of the natural toning/patina it has taken on in storage in the last 16 years. It is normal for silver to take on a color after being exposed to the air for some time. Rather than take all the time to polish it up, since we have so much, we are just leaving it as untouched nostalgia. The buyer can decide if they would like to polish it up. Some of it actually has the old black magic marker pricing written on the underside still.
We bought a large collection of beautiful Native American jewelry from a client who's family had owned a retail shop for Native American made goods. Both our client & his family shared such a love for this stuff! It had spent 16 years in storage before we acquired the entire collection. So, there’s the story about this fabulous collection. We hope you enjoy looking at the many pieces of it. It truly is amazing!
