Description
These vintage clip-on earrings are characteristic of the intarsia inlay style pioneered by Benny and Valorie Aldrich of Aldrich Art Studio. Design & Materials Gemstone Inlay: The centerpiece features a high-quality turquoise mosaic, likely a variety such as Manassa or Kingman , known for its rich green-blue hues and dark matrix. Central Accent: Inlaid at the center is a square orange spiny oyster shell, a hallmark material for Aldrich Art. It is framed by a thin border of lapis lazuli, creating a "window" effect. Sterling Silver Frame: The stones are set in a heavy sterling silver base with a scalloped "concho" style edge. The frame features detailed stampwork and a dark, oxidized patina that highlights the details. Artist Background Pioneering Style: Based in Durango, Colorado, the Aldriches began their work in the 1970s and were among the first to blend traditional Southwestern silverwork with precise, modern gemstone inlays. Handcrafted Quality: Unlike many mass-produced pieces, Aldrich jewelry is built around the hand-cut stones, ensuring each pair is unique. Hallmarks: Authenticated vintage pieces are typically signed "Aldrich Art" or "Aldrich" and stamped "Sterling" on the reverse.
My purchase of a vintage Trifari Cream Color Lucite Gold-toned Necklace from the 1970s arrived as described by the vendor, and it is of great value. The packaging was done with care, and the item was shipped out promptly. However, USPS sucks and does USPS tracking. Most importantly, I love my necklace and hope to find more items from this seller in the future. Additionally, the seller included a nice gift with my purchase Thank you!! Most importantly, eBay needs to use a different mail carrier!
I had several questions before making an offer on this necklace. The seller was very patient, including extra photos with great effort to reassure me that "used" was not a concern. My past experience with sellers when the buyer is not paying full price is to ignore questions. Not so with tulys-vintagecloset. She accepted my offer which wasn't particularly generous on top of going the extra mile with the photos. I am very appreciative! The necklace arrived in a nice gift box.
Shipped quickly and extra care was taken with the packaging to make it safely in shipping. Thank you I appreciate that very much! The bracelet is as described and a good value to me as I love the Brahmin brand!
