Description: About Snake Eyes: The petit point "snake eyes" technique requires finely honed stonework skills. The turquoise pieces are very small and can easily fracture during the honing and polishing process. Each jewelry artist has created their own method of forging these small pieces and once mastered, will typically sit and create hundreds of the polished stones all at once in preparation for creating a finished piece. Snake eyes requires thinly sliced cabochons which are very round. The very nature of the shape, as well as the number of cuts necessary to achieve the correct shape, requires a great amount of patience and skill. The earrings are shadowbox style. They have 4 snake eye turquoise stones. The beauty of sterling silver is that it will become dark and can be polished back to a beautiful shine time after time. I have not polished these earrings as some people prefer the natural patina. I will leave the polishing up to the new owner.
