Vintage Native American Sterling Silver Cross Path Earrings

Vintage Native American Sterling Silver
Turquoise Cross Path Earrings

Full of rich character, these hand-stamped cross path earrings have a design like a bird's tail fanning out in four directions.

Fine workmanship.

You can really see the "Cross Path" (see below) design in these earrings - many paths coming from the four directions and converging at the central point which is a magnificent stone, full of activity.

What is Cross Path?

One of the beliefs of the Navajo is that its people should remain within the boundaries of its Nation which happen to be four mountains. By staying with the Navajo Nation, the people will remain at one with Nature and spirit. And by remaining within these boundaries they are likely to meet all other Navajo within their lifetime. They say they will cross paths with all within the four corners.
