Kewa Pueblo Artist-WARREN NIETO-Wearable & Light! Hand Cut Kingman Turquoise Slab hotsell Earrings with Old Anasazi String Ties-2 Sizes Available!

SALE FOR ONE PAIR-CHOOSE FROM 3" ( 1ST 5 PHOTOS ) OR THE 3.25" (LAST 5 PHOTOS)

These were made exclusively for my store by Kewa Pueblo artisan-"Warren Nieto"!

What these are, are what is called a 'slab earring' & what they are are NOT, are your 'average-everyday' slab earrings!! If you look closely at all the photos you'll see how Warren takes us back to a centuries old time period when his Anasazi ancestry in the Chaco Canyon/CMesa Verde region created dangles that were held onto the earring by way of string.. This was long before sterling jump rings were used to connect the dangles & come from a 900-1300 AD time period !! The string is then tied in a knot on the backside & burned to lock the knot in.(See backside-last photo)

These are cut by 'eye & feel' without the use of calipers to measure.. Both pairs are cut in a rounded oval shape & because of thinness & for the fact that they lack metal, allows them to have a nice wearable weight! (see weight below) Will make a great gift to yourself & or a loved hotsell one!

In order to give you close up photos so I can provide you with all the detail, photos can tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified than in actuality. Close up's make the item look so large & then you get it in hand & you are shocked since the item is much smaller than how they looked in the photos..So to get an accurate idea of how big these are,please either check them out being worn to get a rough idea (photos 2 & 7) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements
