I love these sterling earrings - They feature gemstone inlay stars set in sterling silver. The bottom star holds 3 charms, bear symbol, heart and feather. Overall they measure about 2-1/2". They are pierced style. The Indians of Southwest America learned silversmithing from the Mexicans. Native American jewelry combines cultural, religious and the beauty of nature to produce some of the most beautiful silver jewelry in the world. Many tribes produced jewelry and each reflected their own personal culture. Choctaw, Seneca and Iroquois were among the earliest artists and were joined by the Navajo, Hopi and Zuni in the 20th century. One of the best resouces I have found is "Silver Jewelry Identification and Value Guide" by Fred Rezazadeh. Always buy Native American jewelry from a reputable dealer .
