Southwestern Artisan- JOE EBY- Hand Tooled Sterling /Black Onyx- Butterfly Pin OR Pendant- 3-1/8"
Known throughout the southwest for his old style tooled sterling butterfly's, this charming large size piece is made by the hands of southwest artisan "Joe Eby".
It's made of heavy gauge sterling where he then hand stamps all the detail. It is accented by a good size tear drop cut of black onyx that sits low in it's serrated bezel housing. Large antennas are made with twisted wire.
Made with versatility, this can either be worn as a pin that you can beautifully display on a hat,a shawl,a purse,any outer jacket , blazer,shirt or blouse OR it can be worn as a pendant since it has a shepherds hook that you can hook to your favorite sterling beaded necklace or colored stone necklace! I do want to mention that if using it as a pin,I would be careful however pinning it to any delicate type fabrics.
Would come to life against any black wardrobe & will be a wonderful addition when paired with onyx/sterling jewelry!
