♥️ Lorraine J Martinez turquoise silver New Mexico Native American signed

Hello, Gorgeous! I purchased these turquoise sleeping beauties from the artist in the Santa Fe New Mexico downtown plaza in 2024 when I attended the October Albuquerque New Mexico balloon festival. I paid $125. The artist is Lorraine J Martinez of Santo Domingo Pueblo. Hence the marking LJM on the earrings and artist's business card. Marked .925 for sterling silver. Stamped and signed. I wore them for the day. They are light and comfortable but too large for me. Measuring about 3" long. Just a smidge over 1/2" wide at the stone setting of sleeping beauty turquoise. The setting has beautiful carved / stamped details but my favorite are the long silver teardrops. French hooks. This style with the dangles / drops is really hard to find. My visit to Santa Fe was very focused on finding this style.
