Product Information

Sterling Silver Storytelling Earrings by Dorothy Secatero (Navajo)

These sterling silver concho-style earrings by Navajo silversmith Dorothy Secatero capture the essence of Southwestern storytelling through intricate hand-stamped and overlay designs. Each earring features raised imagery symbolizing life on the land  including horses, corrals, and traditional ranch scenes framed by scalloped borders and detailed stampwork.

Secatero’s work is admired for its balanced compositions, clean lines, and use of heavy-gauge silver. The subtle contrast between the oxidized background and the polished raised motifs brings depth and warmth to each piece.

Marked with her hallmark “DS”, these earrings reflect the same artistry seen in her collectible concho belts and cuffs, making them a beautiful representation of authentic Navajo craftsmanship.
