Vintage Navajo Sterling Silver Thunderbird Half Hoop Earrings Signed CT Native

Vintage Navajo sterling silver half hoop earrings featuring an oxidized thunderbird design. The recessed, darkened motif contrasts beautifully against the silver and gives the earrings a classic Southwestern look.  The earrings are signed CT, as best I can make out. The CT hallmark has been associated with multiple Native American silversmiths, so I am not attributing these to a specific maker.  Unmarked for metal content and tested positive for sterling silver.  Each earring measures just under 3/4 inch long. Please see photos for additional measurements and details.  Vintage preowned condition with surface wear, oxidation and natural patina consistent with age and use. Patina has been left intact.  A great smaller scale pair of vintage Navajo hoops with a bold traditional thunderbird motif.  vintage Navajo earrings, sterling silver earrings, Navajo sterling, thunderbird earrings, Native American jewelry, vintage Native American, sterling half hoops, silver hoop earrings, Navajo half hoop earrings, thunderbird jewelry, signed CT earrings, Southwestern jewelry, Southwest earrings, oxidized sterling, patina silver earrings, Native sterling earrings, vintage silver hoops, bird motif earrings, Navajo jewelry, Western jewelry
