Navajo Pearl Earrings with Baroque Pearls | Sterling Silver Teardrop Dangle Earrings | Regul Silver

Silver beads strung into a falling teardrop, one white pearl resting at the base of the loop - these navajo pearl earrings with baroque pearls carry the hand-strung beadwork of the Southwest down to a single uneven pearl that catches the light every time you turn.

The pair is handcrafted for Regul Silver, our own Fort Worth line, in the southwestern way its record names: a run of small round sterling beads is strung into the teardrop frame, larger oxidized Navajo pearl beads - the dark, satin-finished silver beads the Southwest is known for - are set along the bottom curve, and a white baroque pearl is seated at the center of each one, the whole loop hung from a clean hook.

Set them beside a clean silver hoop and the difference is the bottom curve: a hoop is one clean line and nothing more, while this teardrop gathers weight where it shows - dark beads, bright little beads above them, and the pearl glowing against both. Beside a stud there is no contest of sparkle either; the stud stays put, and these swing.

They are made for the woman who wears her silver with everything - a white shirt and jeans at the market, a black dress at supper - and wants one pair that answers both. The dark beads keep them rooted in western ground; the pearl lifts them, soft and radiant, a step above the everyday pair without ever dressing louder than she does.

Here are the facts, exactly as the record carries them: sterling silver; baroque pearls, one seated at the base of each teardrop, as the photos show; teardrop dangle form on hook fittings, as the photos show; dark oxidized bead finish, as the photos show; southwestern style; price $55.00; stock number 2812. The record carries no weight and no measurements for this pair, so none are stated here. The piece is ours - Regul Silver, Fort Worth.

Pearls and sterling silver set the care rules together, and they are gentle ones: wipe the pair with a soft, dry cloth, keep it dry, and store it apart so the pearls do not rub against harder pieces. Said plainly, the honest part: a baroque pearl is uneven by its nature - no two carry the same bumps, ridges, or glow - and the oxidized beads vary a shade in tone from bead to bead; that variation is what baroque means, and it is the handmade mark of this pair, not a flaw to polish away.
