A charming pair of vintage earrings featuring hand-carved turquoise birds set against sculptural silver-plated mounts.
Each bird is carved from natural turquoise, shaped and detailed by hand to highlight the stone’s organic character and subtle tonal variation. The surface shows a soft, time-earned patina that adds depth and warmth, emphasizing the authenticity of the material.
The carvings rest within custom silver-plated settings that frame the forms without overpowering them. Petite yet expressive, the pair offers a thoughtful balance of folk-art charm and mid-century craftsmanship.
Fitted with classic screw-back findings typical of the era.
