Earrings, Oscar Betz, Drop, Mixed Stones, Hallmark, Contemporary, 1796

OSCARS UNLIKE ANY OTHER!

You can always bet on Oscar Betz for an unforgettable accessory, especially his shockingly lightweight signature southwestern earrings. This pair breaks from Betz’ typical silhouette of hinged clusters to bring a unique, eye-catching, almost-vintage vibe. The statement drop design boasts cross-shaped stones of purple spiny oyster complemented by cabochons of coral and carved turquoise with subtle silver accents. Bold, beautiful, and one-of-kind!
