DESCRIPTION:

Excellent craftsmanship is shown throughout this amazing pair of earrings! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo overlay hand crafted by artist Geneiveve Jones, out of genuine sterling silver and 12 Karat Gold Fill. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver. One layer forms the foundation, while the second is used to design the individual detailed overlay. In this pair of earrings, the second layer forms a intricate Bear Paw design for a phenomenal finish. In Native American beliefs, the bear paw is usually considered a way to call for the power of the animal spirit, or as an indication of the presence of the spirit. It is a symbol that represents inner strength. The earrings are stamped sterling and hallmarked.
