Modernist Turquoise Inlay Geometric Post Earrings

A pair of contemporary-style post earrings featuring a distinct geometric, semi-triangular (diamond-facet) shape. Each earring is meticulously crafted with stabilized turquoise segments inlaid into a dark metallic or oxidized silver framework. The turquoise exhibits a uniform, bright robin's egg blue hue with minimal natural matrix, suggesting high-grade stone selection. The geometric pattern is defined by thin, precise lines of silver-tone or dark-patinated channel work, dividing the surface into smaller triangular facets. In terms of size, the pieces are approximately 1cm in width, suitable for everyday wear. The construction shows high-quality lapidary skill, with flush-set stones that are polished to a smooth, matte-to-satin finish. No visible maker's marks are discernible from the top view, but the design is consistent with Southwestern Modernist or contemporary Zuni channel-inlay techniques from the late 20th or early 21st century. The condition appears excellent with no visible cracks in the stones or significant tarnishing of the metal, though slight organic wear on the edges suggests they have been previously worn. The posts appear to be made of hypoallergenic surgical steel or sterling silver.
