Pueblo Reano Shell & Turquoise Mosaic Earrings

These wonderful shell earrings feature traditional, turquoise, mother of pearl and spiney oyster mosaic inlay over a thin spiney oyster shell. Turquoise is plentiful in the Southwest USA and has been used for bead and mosaic work by the Southwestern indigenous people for more than 1000 years. Set with top-mounted posts, they are very lightweight and easy to wear. They measures 7/8" long.

Santo Domingo Pueblo is the last location where this type of shell mosaic overlay is still done regularly -- with amazing results!
