Pair of Earrings c. 20th century

This pair of earrings, crafted by Navajo (Diné) artisans in the 20th century, is a beautiful example of traditional Native American jewelry. The piece is made from turquoise, coral, and shell beads strung together to create a vibrant and intricate design. The central element is a large turquoise stone, which is often associated with protection and good luck in Navajo culture. This necklace is currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
