Sterling Silver & Turquoise Santa Fe Cross Dangle Earrings by Marcella James
Handcrafted by Navajo artist Marcella James, these striking 1" x 1" sterling silver earrings are a showcase of traditional Native American stampwork at its finest. Each earring features a Santa Fe cross silhouette — a squared cross form with elegantly notched corners — completely covered in a dense, hand-stamped sunburst and radiating pattern that catches the light from every angle.
At the center of each cross sits a round turquoise cabochon, bezel-set in sterling silver, its vivid sky blue a perfect counterpoint to the rich oxidized patina of the surrounding stampwork. The high-shine finish with darkened recesses gives the piece exceptional depth and dimension — the hallmark of quality hand-stamping.
Each cross dangle hangs freely from a sterling silver French hook wire finding, giving them a graceful, fluid movement. These earrings are equally at home dressed up or worn every day.
