Product Description

Vintage Bell Trading Post sterling silver butterfly earrings featuring a striking turquoise-blue inlay design and original screw-back closures. Each butterfly has individually divided turquoise-colored inlay sections outlined in sterling silver, creating a wonderful Southwestern geometric design. The reverse is clearly hallmarked BELL STERLING with the Bell maker’s logo. Bell Trading Post was an Albuquerque, New Mexico maker known for Southwestern-style sterling and turquoise jewelry produced for the tourist trade. The turquoise-colored material has not been independently gem-tested, so although it appears consistent with turquoise inlay and Bell is known for using turquoise, the material is not guaranteed as natural turquoise. Vintage pre-owned condition with natural sterling patina, tarnish and normal age-related surface wear. Please review photos closely for exact condition. Details: Bell Trading Post; marked BELL STERLING; butterfly design; turquoise-colored inlay; screw-back closures; matching pair; vintage Southwestern jewelry.
