These handcrafted earrings showcase the iconic Squash Blossom style reimagined with rare White Buffalo stone. Made in .925 sterling silver by Diné (Navajo) silversmith J.P. Begay, they feature a striking high-contrast design that blends traditional Southwestern craftsmanship with the natural beauty of one of the rarest stones used in Native jewelry.
Each earring features genuine White Buffalo stone, a rare dolomite found in Tonopah, Nevada, known for its snowy white surface with dramatic black spiderweb matrix. The design follows the traditional Squash Blossom silhouette with a teardrop center stone surrounded by a cluster of oval stones, each set in a hand-cut serrated sterling silver bezel. Twisted rope wire accents and small silver drop elements add texture and depth throughout. The reverse side is stamped JP and Sterling to confirm authenticity and metal purity.

Clean gently with a soft dry cloth to maintain the shine of the sterling silver. Avoid chemical cleaners, jewelry dips, and ultrasonic cleaners as White Buffalo is a softer natural stone. Store in a cool, dry place in a padded jewelry box or soft pouch to protect both stone and silver. Apply perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays before wearing to preserve the natural surface of the stone.
A rare and striking statement piece rooted in Navajo silversmithing tradition, perfect for collectors and those who appreciate one-of-a-kind Southwest jewelry.
