Joy Calavaza Turquoise & Sterling Silver Earrings

This striking piece, attributed to Zuni silversmith Joy Calavaza, features a classic sterling silver design accented with a vibrant turquoise stone. Measuring 1 1/4 inches in length and 3/8 inch in width, the piece reflects the bold, recognizable style often associated with the Calavaza family. Stamped "Effie C, Sterling," the hallmark pays homage to the legacy of Effie Calavaza, under whom many family members, including Joy, have created pieces—making this a meaningful example of continuing Zuni tradition.
