Sterling silver and turquoise dangle earrings authentic

These are Native American turquoise studs in sterling silver with dangles that are hand made authentic by the Karen Hill tribe in northern Thailand. The Karen Hill tribe uses primitive tools and silversmithing techniques passed down through the generations. It is the largest hill tribe in Thailand, mostly living west of Chiang Mai in northern mountains. Their individually hand made jewelry has a higher silver content than sterling. The earrings are 2 1/8" long and 1" wide and weigh 14.4 g. The stones are10 X 15 mm. I have left the patina intact on the sterling. The turquoise has a nice coppery brown matrix.

In general, I leave the natural patina on silver pieces. If you make a purchase and want a polished look, please specify.
