This jewelry set is a pair of sterling silver channel inlay earrings featuring a mosaic of multiple colored stones. This type of intricate, geometric design is characteristic of Native American craftsmanship.
The technique used is called channel inlay, where precisely cut pieces of stones are fitted into silver channels to create a smooth, decorative surface.
Materials: Similar pieces typically use a combination of natural stones and shells. Common materials often include:
Turquoise (light blue/teal)
Red Coral (red)
Black Jet or Onyx (black)
Tiger Eye
Mother of Pearl (iridescent)
Spiny Oyster (orange/yellow and pink/purple tones)
Lapis Lazuli (dark blue)
The style is strongly associated with artisans from the American Southwest, specifically the Zuni tribe in New Mexico, and some originate in Mexico, (Taxco).
This set is stamped 925 Mexico.
