MEET THE ARTIST:
Tawney was blessed to born into a large family of well known & highly reputable Navajo silversmiths, who have all seemed to have made a name in the jewelry industry..And she's double blessed to have "Lonnie Willie" for a father.(Who is now retired) Lonnie happens to be the brother to Ronnie, Juan & Rudy Willie and for those that know & follow the industry, Ronnie is probably one of the most well known out of the brothers. It was Lonnie however that taught Ronnie all he knows, including everybody in his immediate family,like Tawney's brother Cooper Willie AND he also taught his own mother & father what there is to know in regards to making jewelry!! You might say Lonnie is the "Maestro" of the family & what a blessing it is for Tawney to have someone that's so highly skilled as Lonnie,to have mentored her!

Lonnie gave Tawney her start by having Tawney work with copper since it's a less expensive metal,so if there were mistakes(Which there always is!) it wouldn't be so costly, as well as having her work with nickel silver so she could learn the art of stamp work.

It's her leaning on Lonnie's wealth of knowledge & her repetitious work that has helped her to become the artist she is today & continually gets artistically inspired from her surroundings, where she'll then turn those ideas into pieces of art.Her work will always be traditional Navajo, but with a really artsy type vibe that leans toward being on the contemporary side of Navajo jewelry.

THE EARRINGS:
Made entirely by hand, these sweet, small & feminine style earrings are designed with curved domed floral petals that sit right at the ear in a non dangling form. Given the beauty of a matte/satin oxidized finished sterling these will look as good on a woman with silvery grey hair as they will on a brunette..

The difference between the 2, is that "Design 1" has a single bead in the center, whereas "Design 2" are multi beaded in the center.

They make a great 'go-to' earring that can be worn at anytime, any place & will literally go with anything! And they have a wearable weight that are easy on the lobes!

**If you like a longer earring,then check out the last 2 photos where this design comes in a double floral design! (With or without stone!) (They are listed under this same category)
