THE ARTIST:
Designed with a traditional, but yet contemporary look, this multi colored cluster brooch is made by the hands of well known Navajo artist, "Linda Yazzie. Linda is a New Mexico resident who has been designing jewelry now for 35+ years & what you'll find in her work is for her excellent eye for form & balance & her precise workmanship.Personally, you can never go wrong with anything Linda makes & I have NEVER witnessed anything that she's made with anything less than with her close attention to detail skills, as well as using the best quality stones available to the market!
*************************
THE PIN:
Each stone couldn't have been laid out any more beautifully than how each of these were laid! Hand selecting only the finest quality materials on the market, Linda instinctively knew what color, what shape stone to use & then knowing where to place them in order to get each to stand out ,so the pin could explode with nothing but color!
It is made with some of the most magnificent colored cuts of natural (Not treated!) vibrant blue Sleeping Beauty turquoise that lay in the interior, along with lime green Gaspeite, Lapis and hearts of orange Spiny Oyster. On the exterior, are 18 round cuts of Mediterranean red Coral & on the center east/west ends are tear drop cuts of purple Spiny Oyster. Alternating between each cut are sterling beads that fill in any empty space.. The stones are soldered atop of an oxidized background, whereas the backside has a mirrored polish-contemporary finished sterling.
This can be worn vertically OR worn horizontally! It isn't as heavy as some Native pins,so you can feel comfortable wearing it on just about anything! You can be the judge when you get it in hand & actually feel the weight.
You can pair it with any one of the materials that's in the pendant & will compliment any Southwestern jewelry collection! Would also make a wonderful gift !

PLEASE READ BEFORE PUCHASING:
*****I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color,just so you're not shocked, nor disappointed when you get the piece. I find photographing anything with 'yellow' in it, (orange, green) can come up a little more vivid,so please take this into consideration.****
In order to show all the fine detail, close up photos tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified than in actuality. Close up's make the item look so large & then you get it in hand & you are shocked since the item is much smaller than how they looked in the photos..So to get an accurate idea of how big this is, please pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements
