DESCRIPTION:

This pair of earrings are a true treasure! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo overlay hand crafted by artist Thomas (Tommy) and Rosita Singer, out of genuine sterling silver and 12 Karat Gold Filled. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver or 12KGF. One layer forms the foundation, while the second layer is used to design the individual detailed overlay. In these earrings, the second layer forms amazing 12 KGF and sterling silver border patterns for a gorgeous finish. The earrings are stamped sterling and hallmarked by the artist.

12KGF is as good as gold. The color will never fade, change, or wear off. It is 12K gold on top of brass and other metals, which create a gold tone with a finish all the way through. 12KGF behaves the same way as gold.
