Melvin Chee, Earring, Vintage, Circa 2000s, Kingman Turquoise, Navajo 1 1/2"

Description

These vintage earrings by Melvin Chee are a striking example of Navajo handmade artistry from the early 2000s. Crafted in sterling silver, the earrings feature a bold trapezoid drop design accented with five vibrant Kingman Turquoise stones per side. Each turquoise cabochon is hand-set with a fine bezel, framed by delicate silver twist wire and accented with sterling silver droplets for added texture. The top stud features a single teardrop turquoise, perfectly complementing the symmetrical cluster below. The stones exhibit a brilliant blue tone characteristic of high-quality Kingman Turquoise, with subtle natural matrixing adding visual depth. Lightweight yet eye-catching, these earrings are both versatile and refined.
