Nez Signed Native American Handmade Turquoise Silver SW Stamped Vintage Earrings

Wonderfully unique vintage silver earrings scribe-signed by Native American silversmith Nez. Vibrantly-colored stones appear to be turquoise, but slight white undertone may suggest the stones to be a dyed howlite. The construction is very unique, please see photos to note a clear glue that was overlaid atop the stones. Framed by silver southwestern stamped silver, an undertone of copper suggests these may be silver plate. Earring hooks are sterling silver and marked 925.
