Vintage Turquoise/Coral Earrings

Identifying & Discovering

Would appreciate thoughts on these earrings.
I recently purchased them from an estate sale.
The seller said his mom bought them in the 1970’s “at an Indian trading post near Albuquerque, NM”.

They are not marked, but are Sterling. Appear to have been heavily polished. Two of the feathers are damaged.

Any guesses on Turquoise mine? The stones look like 1970’s/80’s Sleeping Beauty to me. Either that or Kingman.
The larger feathers are about ¾” long. I took the butterfly clasps off for the photo.

I probably paid too much, But I liked them.

Thank you.

I guess this is a very popular design. A quick Google lens search resuulted in over 12 identicle earrings. Those with hallmarks on them are listed for up to $100+.

Maybe SB turquoise, but I think I see a teeny bit of webbing in the stones, so maybe Kingman? Can I guess both :grin:?

Feathers are always a good look. Those feathers and leaves are silver findings, so it makes for fast construction. That bottom stone is probably always the same size. It is interesting the one you found is marked RB, possibly Running Bear. They would have hundreds of something like this made for wholesale trade.
