Provenance
Oscar Betz's work was most prominent in the 1970's and 1980's. His pieces were actively sought out and purchased by Hollywood celebrities as well as collectors of fine one-of-a-kind handmade Indian jewelry. He was one of the first southwest artists to use many different stones together in one piece of jewelry. Oscar's work remains in high demand today.
This pair of earrings has remained off the market since their original purchase in 1988 and have never been worn.
