MARY TAFOYA-Multi Color Mosaic Ladder-Vivid Kingman Turquoise Folk Art Earrings

Description

DESCRIPTION:
These are what I call, "Whimsical Mosaic" & are so cheerful,based on the fact that they have the ability to bring life to just about anything or anyone who wears them!! They are super colorful earrings & all the stone & shell in these are literally hand cut by Mary & then are embedded into a backing of black jet.
What us fans love about Mary's signature work is for the fact that her cuts are deliberately cut irregular by laying slanted,where they may be bigger on one side than the other & so on.
THIS
is what contributes to the overall funky feel she has going on in her jewelry designs!! She's one artist where her work actually looks good by each cut being so non uniform & precisely perfect.. She wouldn't be Mary if it wasn't for this!!
There is something
SO
pretty about this earring design,where the colors compliment one another & where each give the other a ultimate contrast boost! Like a ladder of color,each colored cut are laid in a horizontal pattern & get wider toward the bottom where they round off in a colorful floral explosion of bright blue Kingman turquoise & create this 'tear drop' shape.All the materials are mosaic inlaid atop of a black jet backing, These are made in a omega spring post style.
These have a killer look that will look great with just about any skin tone-any hair color & will look phenomenal in the summer & can brighten any dreary winter day!!

PLEASE NOTE:
I am not a professional photographer, but try my best to give you the truest color in the photos as they will be in person..
In order to give you close up photos, pictures can tend to make the item look much more larger & more magnified than in actuality. Close up's can make the item look even larger & then you get them in hand & say, "they looked much larger in the photos!"
So to get a accurate idea of how big these are, please look at them being worn in photo 2 or pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements.
