Navajo Oxidized Sterling Silver Repousse Post Earrings turquoise the most renowned mines beingThese Navajo Oxidized Sterling Silver Repousse Post Earrings were handmade in New Mexico by Navajo artist, T. Yazzie. Repousse is a 19th century technique used in metal work to decorate the surface of a piece. Small tools are used on the backside of the silver to create a design in relief. This technique requires a great deal of skill. These beautiful earrings were oxidized and gently wire brushed to achieve this Old World look. Hallmarked T. Yazzie
