Vintage Dishta Zuni 1940s Sterling Turquoise Inlay Snowflake ScrewBack Earrings

  
Vintage pair of inlaid turquoise & sterling silver earrings with screw backs. My grandmother bought these in the 1940s in New Mexico, which makes them most likely Frank Dishta, who was the first to do this flush inlay style.

Ive been told he never signed his pieces. The earrings measure about 1 inch in diameter. They are stamped STERLING on the screws and are not signed. Weight is approximately 13 grams. I have not polished this pair, so the silver is tarnished.

Theyll be even more beautiful once polished! Please see the photos and dont hesitate to ask questions or request more photos.
