From a Tucson Country Club estate is this I believe 1950's or so pair of Zuni silver earrings - here with a total of eighteen (18) robin's egg to green snake eye turquoise sets. Each earring has nine of the local lapidary stones arranged on a well accomplished openwork lattice of silver. The ornaments are currently with their original trader supplied clip fittings. These elegant handmade beauties would have perfectly suited some mid century young lady who preferred good taste over ostentation. If you are of a similar mindset, I'm not sure what else need be said. Weight is good for the form at about 3.2 total grams on my portable digital scale. Condition is quite fine with an aura of time to the surfaces. Be aware I have avoided every urge to refresh away or "improve" upon any natural toning - you want that done, you do it. The original clip fittings work exactly as they should. All typical and expected signs of period ear duty and subsequent storage simply serve to validate the history. A look at the pics should give a good idea of appearance and condition. Size of each is about 11/16 in. vertical and 21/32 in. horizontal, and yes they will be noticed. If you prefer historic Southwestern silver adornment for the visual road less travelled, or simply wish an immediate improvement to the ambiance of each day, these will have great meaning for you
