This is very Mexican in style,but Navajo made.

Brenda was inspired when she worked at one time for the company Nakai,when they were doing "Devotional Art/Guadalupe" jewelry.

Brenda "Painted" this piece & no,not with paints,but with a mosaic technique of stone & shell..All the materials are literally hand cut that display the Guadalupe.From the finest detail that you can't even imagine,that shows not only her black hair (that is somewhat covered by her green turquoise mantle gown) but the golden mother of Pearl surrounding the Guadalupe that acts as the luminous light,to the black onyx moon that she stands upon.Her mantle is so very finely detailed & outlined with either red coral or spiny oyster shell? & is cut of super fine slivers of the shell.The exterior of her mantle is made of green turquoise & if you zoom in,Brenda placed blue turquoise for the interior of the mantle,where she actually cut the blue to create the movement of the mantle.Her folded hands are in front of her purple turquoise (colored) gown..Her face is cut of white MOP,her eyes are dots of black onyx,her lips are red.

Acting as a "double glow",are little  3.5 mm range cabochons of un-faceted green Peridot that sit in a serrated bezel.She is placed on a 4 wire spread to accommodate the tall center piece.

Be sure to zoom in on the sides of the shank!
