YOU CAN ALWAYS BET ON BETZ.
And unearthing an old school pair always feels like a win! These vibrant vintage beauties (1992) boast some beautifully colorful cabochons of turquoise, lapis lazuli, and orange spiny oyster set in simple silver bezels. A stunning pair of statement studs created for Christopher’s Enterprises three decades ago, and still every bit as beautiful as the day they were made!
