Mexican Sterling Silver & Turquoise Earrings

These beautiful Mexican earrings are sterling silver set with natural turquoise. The lovely three dimensional construction is heart shaped, and remind us of cheerful grasshopper faces. The silver has that wonderful patina that can only be achieved with age. Ear wires have been added to convert them from screw backs to pierced earrings. The back is signed Mexico and Silver. 

These earrings date from the 1940s, a high point in silver jewelry design in Mexico. The main attraction for the designers and studio jewelers was the locally mined supply of materials, silver and semi precious gems were abundant and affordable.

Details.....The earrings have a 1.0" drop from the ear and are 0.85" wide. In Very Good Vintage condition. You should expect some wear on all vintage and antique jewels, we consider it part of its charm.
