Vintage Navajo Sterling Silver Three-Stone Curved Feather Semi-Hoop on sale Pierced Earrings - Signed Joe Delgarito #d104
For offer today, I have this fabulous pair of sterling silver three-stone, semi-hoop earrings by Navajo Joe Delgarito. The earrings are comprised of fine sterling silver and turquoise, coral and lapis lazuli stones. The earrings feature curved feather shapes with raised veins in the centers, cutout notches and etched details. A series of three stones, one blue turquoise, one red coral and one deep blue lapis, have been arranged vertically on one side of the feather. The stones are set in raised, sawtooth settings and two silver beads accent the areas between the stones, adding dimension and visual interest to the earrings when viewed from the sides. The earrings close with silver push-on, butterfly backs. They are so gorgeous!
The earrings measure about 1 inch long, 1/2 inch wide and weigh 6.1 grams. They are signed and hallmarked with a cursive letter "D" for Joe Delgarito and the word "Sterling" on the back of one earring in the pair. The earring is also stamped with the artist initials "RP" which I could not identify. The earring backs are also hallmarked "925".
These beautiful earrings are absolute works of art! The vivid colors of the stones really pop against on sale the superbly crafted, curved silver feathers. They are a wonderful pair of earrings to add to a Native American jewelry collection and would make an exceptional gift! The earrings are in excellent vintage condition and ready to wear out of the box!
