    My mother loved her jewelry and collected anything she liked; regardless the artist.
    My research has lead me to believe these are Sleeping Beauty stones by a Navajo designer... but who? The back plate, which holds the turquoise, was soldered to the front plate in a way that covers the hallmark. From what I can tell by the marks that do show, the artist could be Al Yazzie, but then again the "D" doesn't point in that direction.

    The site used to help identify hall marks:

    Any ideas?

      That isn't Al Yazzie's hallmark, that I know of. Don't recognize the D, either.

      Maybe someone else can help, good luck. Great earrings!
