Darrell Shebola's fabulous, all hand-fabricated sterling silver, turquoise, red coral, pen shell, mother of pearl shell, pink mussel shell, and abalone inlaid Hummingbird, captures the delicate and vibrant bird mid-flight as it drinks the nectar of a shell and coral flower. The jewel of the sky pin/pendant is inspired a design his Grandmother Ella created. The tiny bird has delicate incising detail to accentuate a feathered texture as well as lively eyes of inlaid turquoise. The versatile pin/pendant combo measures about 1 3/4" long by 1 3/4" wide and is signed by the artist.
