ABOUT ELLA PETER
Ella Peter is a artist who is considered a 'Master" Navajo silversmith.. She specializes in cluster work, which not all jewelers take a thrill doing, since it can be tedious & extremely time consuming, but when you love what you do, you don't think about those things. It is obvious in her jewelry that doing the cleanest work,' is important to her. She takes her art seriously & will give you nothing but the best, no matter the price, no matter the size.. She was taught by her father,who also taught the young Ella how to weave. She is a New Mexico native & calls Mentmore, NM her home.

THE EARRINGS:
Using only the finest Sonoran Rose turquoise available, these stunning earrings can't help but bring out any eye color beautifully and can make your entire facial area glow with radiance! The color is staggering, dynamic, and showcases the 'ultimate' vivid blue tone that is truly breathtaking to behold! Although these earrings may be on the smaller side for a southwestern design, the superior quality and richness of the turquoise far outweigh any considerations of their size.
While the small round cuts sit low within an elegant scallop bezel, the top and larger center stones are positioned higher above the bezel, as those cuts feature a more domed shape. The sterling silver has a dynamite grey hue due to its satin finishing, which serves to enhance and amplify the brilliant blue of the turquoise!
A PERSONAL WORD:
Pricing is dictated not only by the artist, but the quality of the stones being used & just like any stone, whether it's diamonds or emeralds there are 'grades" with some being high, whereas other are low. It's the same with turquoise..Higher grades go for more per carat & then you add the 'amount'' of carats. The higher the grade, the more carat weight, the more something costs. Availability plays a factor & of course sterling cost & the artists time which are all then reflected in the price.. Remember you pay for what you get in the jewelry business! **
In the last photo (photo 10) is another pair by Ella that will soon be listed! So be sure to watch for those!! (They’ll be in this same earring category)

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
I am not a professional photographer, but I do try to do my hardest at giving you an accurate color. To give you close up photos that show all the detail, pictures can tend to look much more larger & much more more magnified than in actuality. Close up shots can make the item look so large & then you get it in hand & you are shocked since the item is much smaller than how they looked in the photos..So to get an accurate idea of how big these are,please either check them out being worn to get a rough idea (photo 2 & 8) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements above,
