Up for sale is a beautiful pair of authentic Native American Navajo post earrings, masterfully handcrafted by artisan Helen Harrison. These modernist, inverted-triangle shield earrings feature a vibrant purple stone mosaic inlay set into precision sterling silver channels. The rich coloration of the stones strongly resembles premium sugilite or charoite, beautifully accented by crisp silver geometric partitions.
The reverse side of the earrings displays a clean, reflective finish stamped with "STERLING" and the artist's signature block-letter "HH" hallmark. A lightweight, striking, and highly wearable example of contemporary Southwestern wearable art.
