DESCRIPTION:

This is a very gorgeous pair of earrings that would make a great gift! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo overlay hand crafted by artist Irvin Gene, out of genuine sterling silver. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver or gold. One layer forms the foundation, while the second layer is used to design the individual detailed overlay. In this pair of earrings, the second layer forms marvelous Bear Paw designs for an incredible finish. In Native American beliefs, the bear paw is usually considered a way to call for the power of the animal spirit, or as an indication of the presence of the spirit. It is a symbol that represents inner strength. The earrings are stamped sterling.
