Earrings, Oscar Betz, Hoop, Calsilica and Abalone, Hallmark, 2065

Something new and unique from the legendary Oscar Betz!

Despite their large scale, Betz’ earrings are easy to wear and perfectly balanced, and always set with a beautiful mix of stones. Prolific in the ’70s and ’80s, Oscar’s pieces are now actively sought out and purchased by Hollywood celebrities, including Liz Taylor, 7th Ave. designers, including Ralph Lauren, as well as collectors of fine Southwest jewelry. His work remains in high demand today.

These bold and elegant earrings are an outside-the-box creation from Betz, deviating from his signature silhouette to create a chic southwestern spin on a hoop dangle, crafted with gorgeous calsilica and abalone stones, each hand-cut and set by the artisan. Hinged for light movement, these statement earrings are completed with post back closures. Make a cool and colorful statement with these one-of-a-kind beauties!
