Duo-Tone Sterling Silver Turquoise and Rhodonite Earrings

A pair of contemporary-style post-back earrings crafted from .925 sterling silver, featuring a geometric, multi-stone design. Each earring is composed of two primary elements: a smaller oval bezel-set turquoise cabochon at the top and a larger, inverted triangular rhodonite stone below it. The turquoise exhibits a vibrant, solid blue hue synonymous with Sleeping Beauty or high-quality Kingman turquoise. The rhodonite features a soft, dusty pink color with subtle natural inclusions typical of the mineral. The metalwork is characterized by thick, structural bezels that provide a modernist aesthetic. Based on the provided context, the reverse is marked 'KA .925', indicating the sterling silver purity and identifying the maker (possibly Kenneth Ajimine or a similar boutique silversmith). The earrings appear to be in good vintage condition with a natural darkened patina developing on the silver edges, consistent with late 20th-century craftsmanship. The stones appear secure in their settings without visible cracks or chips, though minor surface scuffs on the silver are present from previous wear. The use of plastic disc-back clutches suggests they are designed for comfort and stability when worn. The overall design reflects a Southwestern-inspired minimalist movement from the 1980s or 1990s.
