This ain't Texas, ain't no hold 'em, So lay your cards down, down, down, down

THE EARRINGS
For all you cowgirls that prefer turquoise boots rather than glass slippers, you'll be putting your best foot forward, while dancing to Beyoncé's 'TEXAS HOLD 'EM'! These will complete ANY western attire & would be the perfect earring to wear for those who do all those YouTube /Instagram reels that are out there! They are traditionally made, but very 2024!!
2 Different choices of earrings with 2 different designs available, these are fashionably designed with a western edginess, where both sets of earrings are made with the "Cowgirl" in mind..What I'm impressed with about DESIGN 1, is how Charles really went all out by putting that realistic look to the boot & what I'm referring to, is where the brown part is at on the bottom foot area!!(See photos) He also did the perfect blending of the brown jasper & turquoise in this area as well, where you see NO line of demarcation!!
The material is all hand cut and shaped by Charles and then carefully mosaic inlaid atop of a clay colored "Pipestone" backing .The super cool boot heels are made of Black Jet(Fossilized Coal)
Because of their thickness,these do have a tad of weight to them,so please go over the 'combined weights" below before purchasing just to be sure you can handle that weight, since I do not refund for this reason. I supply all the info you'll need, so I leave it up to the buyer to know what weight they can tolerate.

THE ARTISAN:CHARLES BIRD
30 Year old Charles is a Kewa Puebloan artist whose determined to stand apart from the rest. Having been inspired by his numerous award winning mother "Jolene Bird", who Charles works very closely with to this day,you might say that Charles is a "Non-Conformist" when it comes to doing things his own way, which are clearly witnessed in his jewelry. Being blessed with an artistic eye for design, his designs can be somewhat abstract & refuses to do the same thing, the same 'ol way. He loves doing asymmetrical designs, that are what many would consider 'mismatched', but this is the signature look that has his name attached & loves creating pieces this way!
When he's not grinding,& shaping stones & shells to enter into shows, he spends time practicing Jiu Jitsu, which he has earned not only 2 silver metals, but has honorably taken home the gold metal award as well!
What you'll get from Charles is traditional Puebloan work that has been passed on from generation to generation, but with a contemporary feel.
