long dangling turquoise earrings with copper wire

Description

Purchased these lovely earrings from an artist inside Taos Pueblo in New Mexico five years ago.
They are hand crafted from turquoise wrapped in copper wire.
The earrings dangle 2 1/4" long and because of this they each weigh 4oz.  ( a little heavier than most earrings but normal for a stone that size)
Truly a statement piece made with wonderful craftsmanship!
