Sancrest Dangle Clip Earrings

These unique faux turquoise silvertone dangle earrings were made by Sancrest in the 1950s.  Sancrest costume jewelry, produced by Sanford & Co. Inc, Los Angeles, CA, featured Native American designs made with synthetic turquoise and inexpensive metals.  There is very little infomation available online about this company, but it appears they only manufactured items from 1951-1954, making it fairly rare.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece.  Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated.  My online shop on http://www.ebay.com/ is coming soon.
