Navajo Artisan- Geneva Apachito -Hand Made -Fully Beaded "Cross Within Heart" Sterling Ring-3 Sizes Available!
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
In comparison to some 'veteran' Navajo metalsmith's, Geneva is a relatively young silversmith who learned the art of metalsmithing from her mother "Genevieve Apachito'..She is a New Mexico native who comes from Socorro,NM & continued being raised in Socorro county, in the town of Alamo,NM. Regardless of age or how long she has been creating jewelry,it’s the fact of how easy it comes to her, which is obvious in everything she makes.
*************************
THE PENDANT:
Made with a "Cross within a Heart" design that is accentuated by sterling beads, where each of these beads are made with a tedious process where Geneva melted down the sterling to form each bead & then one by one they are placed atop of an oxidized finished sterling. The heart sits on a tri-split shank.
** In photo 5 is the matching pendant that is the same size as this ring. (Can be found under “Pendants”) and photo 6, you'll find a larger size pendant that has 3 crosses & also can be found under “Pendants **

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 see photo 2 or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements
