Turquoise Sterling Silver Totem Pole French Hook Earrings

Celebrate Native American tradition. These impressive earrings were finely hand crafted from shimmering Sterling Silver. Each of these earrings feature the lost wax image of a traditional totem pole. Plus, each earring has a hand cut cab of block Turquoise that has been set in a Sterling Silver casing. A pair of Sterling Silver feathers dangle from the bottom of each earring. These earrings hang from their French hooks at a length of 2-5/8". Stamped Sterling.

As the feather floats softly to the earth, it blesses the troubled world.
