Description: These are from my personal collection. I've collected Southwest jewelry since the 1970's. The company name comes from the Keresen word Teme, from the Pueblo of Acoma in central New Mexico, which means "Jewelry/jewelry maker". In the mid seventies an Acoma elder bestowed the name on Mr. Lional McKinney, because of Lional's passion and talent for making jewelry. Teme specializes in semi-precious stone inlay, which is the central feature of all sterling silver and gold Teme jewelry. Each inlaid stone is masterfully cut and fit by hand. Teme also uses a wide variety of colored gemstones in its collection. The result is a simple, versatile, and elegant look, which characterizes all Teme jewelry. The gold lip, pink, and white mother of pearl is set on a foundation of heavy gauge sterling silver. The inlay is very smooth to the touch, no highs or lows. I have hand polished these earrings with a soft polishing cloth. Sterling silver will become dark and can be polished to a brilliant shine time after time - that is the beauty of sterling. Southwest jewelry is an investment in enjoyment to last a lifetime. Overall Measurement 2 3/4" long x 3/8" wide Total Weight = 9.7 grams Questions??? Please ask before purchasing to avoid any misunderstandings. You can see more jewelry in my eBay "store". Coin is for display only, not included - not for sale.
