Navajo two-piece earrings with spiney-oyster and turquoise, by Betty Joe. #1767

These are kinda spiffy!  They are signed "Navajo B. Joe."  I used to think it was somebody called Navajo Joe, and about 20 years ago I asked an old Trader about Navajo Joe.  I was quickly educated—once again—on how much there is to know about this business and how little I actually knew.  Still don't, really.  Any-way, Betty Joe has this two-piece style down pat.  She utilizes it in both her pendants and her earrings.  And she usually includes beautiful spiney-oyster shell which she picks-out herself.  They all look good.  Notice the intricate bezeling gripping every stone.  These are 2 and 1/8th-inches long and weigh 7-grams, or .24-ounces.   They aren't just earrings.  They are representative of a hard-working Navajo lady living a hard-scrabble life and feeding her family by making beautiful jewelry.   We'll ship 'em fast for free if you live in the U.S.
