Sterling Silver Double Concho Post Dangle Earrings by Bertha Begay (Navajo)
Handcrafted by Navajo artist Bertha Begay, these striking double concho post dangle earrings are a testament to the enduring power of pure sterling silversmithing — no stones, no distractions, just masterful metalwork that speaks entirely for itself.
Each earring pairs two concho forms connected by a small jump ring. The upper concho post is round with a scalloped edge, covered in hand-stamped radiating lines, and centered with a repoussé oval dome surrounded by delicate swirl and scroll stampwork. The lower dangle concho is larger and oval, sharing the same scalloped edge treatment and radiating stamp pattern, with a matching central repoussé dome and flowing scroll and floral stampwork that gives each piece its organic, handmade character.
The high-shine finish with oxidized recesses creates a rich contrast that makes every stamped detail pop — the hallmark of quality Native American silversmithing. While there is no hallmark, this is common with delicate repoussé silverwork — stamping on the back of thin, raised silver could telegraph through to the front, distorting the very design that makes the piece beautiful. These earrings have been tested and are guaranteed to be authentic hand made and sterling silver.
