Handcrafted by Diné (Navajo) silversmith Evangeline Enoah of Thoreau, New Mexico, these sterling silver, orange spiny oyster shell dangle earrings reflect a beautiful balance of traditional Navajo silversmithing and contemporary Southwestern style. Elegant and unique, each earring features a vibrant orange spiny oyster shell stone set in smooth sterling silver bezels and framed with a decorative rope-edged base that highlights the natural color and movement of the stone. A sterling silver concho adds texture and a touch of vintage charm, creating a layered design that feels both timeless and distinctive.
Evangeline is known for incorporating floral and vine swirl motifs into designs that honor tradition while expressing personal creativity. With a deep passion for silversmithing, Evangeline approaches each piece as an opportunity to refine technique and create jewelry that carries meaning as well as beauty. These earrings are a striking example of Diné craftsmanship—carefully made by hand and designed to be worn, treasured, and passed down.
Special care instructions: To care for sterling silver earrings, prevent tarnish by wearing them often—as natural skin oils keep silver polished—and storing them in airtight, anti-tarnish bags or containers. Avoid moisture by removing them before showering, swimming, or cleaning, and keep them away from chemicals like hairspray, perfume, and cosmetics.
