JSW207 White Buffalo Earrings
JSW207 White Buffalo Earrings
Sterling silver and White Buffalo turquoise earrings by Navajo silversmith Burt Francisco. The /4" x " earrings have French wires for a total length of 1 1/2".
White Buffalo Turquoise is fittingly named for the extremely rare and beautiful beast to which many Native American tribes ascribed spiritual significance. Originating from the Dry Creek mine in Arizona and Nevada, the black and white stone, also known as White Buffalo turquoise, is unique, timeless and bold.
Fortunate to have silversmith parents to teach him their traditional Nava techniques when he was young Burt Francisco was able to produce and successfully sell his own silver and turquoise jewelry before his twentieth birthday. Now in his mid-fifties and a master artisan, Burt still enjoys each new silversmith project and challenge and feels truly blessed for the skills in his hands the joy of his heart that comes from his work.
