DESCRIPTION:
Known for their award winning one of a kind designs,Farrell & Reyes stayed traditional when making these.
These are designed with all the tradition known to Kewa Pueblo mosaic jewelry,but with a touch of a more modern day contemporary appearance.
Beautiful tones of various blues with hints of brown matrix make these real eye catchers!!! They are designed with deliberate, irregular shaped tiny cuts of Nevada Fox turquoise, that are then carefully placed in a circular mosaic pattern & that sit atop of a "Tiger Cowrie" shell backing where the natural form of the curved shell is used,which gives them a "domed" appearance.Orange Spiny Oyster shell is used for the accent that Farrell hand cut.The perimeter is nicely beveled along the edges!
. Each of these pieces are all hand cut from what started out as a large rock which is then cut down to make the turquoise workable.There is a lot of contrast in these & will look good against practically any color skin tone!!
Perfect for the woman who loves & appreciates the traditional Pueblo art of mosaic! As well as for having jewelry that is designed & made by artisans who take pride in seeing that everything they produce, is beyond perfectly made!!
