hand stamped sterling silver earrings conches with lapis lazuli cabochons

HAND-STAMPED STERLING SILVER EARRINGS WITH lapis lazuli CABOCHONS NAVAJO About The Hand-Stamped Sterling Silver Earrings with lapis lazuli Cabochons Mill-rolled sterling silver sheet was used to create the conchos and their bezels. The sterling posts and large comfort clutches are commercially made findings. Hand-made stamps were used to impress the detailed design. The oval was cut, following the scalloped edge created by radiant crescent stamps. Each oval was then chased in a cottonwood depression, giving them a very nice, slightly bowed dimension. Some oxidation has nicely accumulated over the 45 to 55 years since these beauties were created. This patina was deliberately left to be enjoyed. Perhaps a new owner may make a different polishing decision.
