~SALE FOR PENDANT ONLY~~SANDRA ZAMBRANO 12 mm-26" NAVAJO PEARL NECKLACE CAN BE FOUND IN MY LISTINGS!

I am so honored to bring you the work of a "TRUE ARTISAN" & that is the jewelry by Darryl Dean Begay..

Navajo Darryl Begay's calling was to make jewelry.He was not born to just 'make jewelry',like they do in assembly lines,but he was put here to create the finest pieces you will ever see in today's Navajo jewelry. He creates from the heart, from his life experiences,as well as his culture,by designing pieces that would blow anyone away!!

He creates these Navajo/Native American depictions that are 'painted' in the tufa with his own hands & are literally "One of a kind- pieces of Art",that can be passed on from generations to generation.. His work is the cleanest,the stories are well told & when you see his work,you will be able to see why he is at the "Master/Rock Star" level he’s at! He has taken the art of Tufa casting to a level which has not been seen before & with each piece,he gives us the story of Native American life that is carefully displayed in metal form.

After all,he is not called the "Picasso of Tufa" for nothing!

He's a numerous award winner & like his brother Lee or his cousin Philander,they are all well known for their Tufa stone casting & Navajo ceremonial themes that are drawn in the tufa...With Tufa,assures you will get art that is one of a kind & cannot be duplicated..And if you know anything about art,it's hard as well to recreate the same piece twice.All of his work commands the respect & attention it deserves!

DESCRIPTION:

Designed in a statuesque size,the trillion cut of Ocean Jasper seems to follow form that coincides with the wide to narrowing body..It is made of a weightier amount of sterling & the finishing has just the right amount of oxidation that is left within the crevices of the Petroglyph hands,crosses & necklace, that helps each to 'shine' with a rich sort of gleam & acts as a major part of the design.

It is carried on a necklace with a shepherds hook,rather than a bale.(see photo 9).So whether you want to wear this with a strand (or more) of oxidized Navajo Pearl beaded necklaces or a necklace of colored stone,it won't matter!(Sandra Zambranos 12 mm-26 Navajo Pearl necklace shown in photos can be found in my listings & is not included)

Darryl's art is collected by connoisseur's of the world that collect only the finest there is in Native American art/jewelry..He is one of the most collectible when it comes to Navajo Tufa Art Jewelry.

**In the last 3 photos are 2 other pieces by Darryl in stock!**

Would make a wonderful gift!!
