This is a very exquisite pair of earrings that must not be overlooked! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo overlay hand crafted by artist Thomas (Tommy) and Rosita Singer, out of genuine sterling silver. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver or 12KGF. One layer forms the foundation, while the second layer is used to design the individual detailed overlay. In this pair of earrings, the second layer forms lovely native american designs for a magnificent finish. The earrings are hallmarked by the artist.
