Navajo inlay post earrings are a beautiful style of Native American jewelry, often featuring intricate channel or mosaic inlay work with stones like turquoise, coral, jet, opal, spiny oyster shell, or multicolored combinations set into sterling silver. Traditional Navajo jewelry emphasizes bold turquoise, but inlay techniques are also used by Navajo silversmiths for geometric patterns, sunfaces, feathers, or abstract designs.
