DESCRIPTION:

The beautiful features in this pair of earrings will make you appreciate Native American art! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo overlay hand crafted by artist Peggy Skeets, out of genuine sterling silver and 14 karat gold. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver or gold. One layer forms the foundation, while the second is used to design the individual detailed overlay. In this pair of earrings the second layer creates fascinating kokopelli designs for an incredible finish. The Kokopelli is a common fertility symbol throughout the Southwest. In Native American beliefs, the Kokopelli visits various communities, seducing and impregnating the young women drawn to the tones of his flute playing. The earrings are stamped sterling, 14K, and hallmarked by the artist.
