Vintage Sterling Silver & Turquoise Dangle Earrings – Mixed Metal Construction

These vintage turquoise dangle earrings showcase beautiful Southwestern craftsmanship with hand-formed domed silver tops and oval turquoise cabochons set in twisted rope bezels. The turquoise features natural matrix patterning and rich blue-green tones, each stone unique in character and depth.

While the fronts are sterling silver, testing shows that the backs are magnetic, indicating a mixed-metal construction. This technique was occasionally used in vintage jewelry to provide strength and stability behind domed or overlaid silverwork without compromising appearance.

Each earring measures approximately 1½ inches in length (excluding the hook) and hangs gracefully with natural movement. The combination of aged patina and classic turquoise detailing makes this pair a timeless example of mid-century Southwestern style.
