Description
Traditional handmade Native American Indian Jewelry from Indigenous Pueblos of the Southwest. Guaranteed authentic. Good vintage condition.
A brilliant example of modernist Southwestern jewelry, these vintage Navajo dangle earrings by Abraham Begay showcase the artist’s exceptional skill in contemporary channel inlay. The striking geometric design features an interlocking sterling silver triangle and circle, creating a dynamic, three-dimensional sculptural effect that beautifully frames the face.
The heavy silver channels are meticulously inlaid with a vibrant, rainbow-like array of traditional and contemporary stones, including bright turquoise, deep black jet, red coral, and vibrant shell. The precision required to hand-cut each stone to fit seamlessly within the curved and angled silver channels is a testament to Begay’s master-level craftsmanship. Finished with secure French hook ear wires, these lightweight yet visually impactful earrings perfectly bridge the gap between traditional Navajo materials and bold, modern wearable art.
