DESCRIPTION:
There is nothing at all average about this beautiful pair of earrings! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo overlay hand crafted by artist Geneiveve Jones, out of authentic sterling silver and 12 Karat Gold fill. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver. One layer forms the foundation, while the second is used to design the individual intricate overlay. In this pair of earrings, the second layer forms a wonderful Bear design for a stunning finish. In Native American beliefs, the bear symbolizes physical strength, leadership, and is known as the "first helper". The earrings are stamped sterling and hallmarked.
