Darrell Shebola's remarkable Hummingbird necklace and earrings set is a flash back to an older style of inlay jewelry that is quickly becoming a rarity. Arranged from iridescent gold lip shell, sky blue turquoise, magical abalone, rich pen shell and bright red coral, this happy set can be worn anytime. The sterling silver beaks and feet are sweetly worked. The stunning necklace with handmade link chain is approximately 27" long, while the center nectar-sipping bird and flower are about 1 1/2" long and 1 3/4" wide. The side hummingbird stations are roughly 1 1/2" long and 1 1/4" wide. The medium-weight earrings dangle delightfully at about 2 1/4" long with hooks and 1 3/8" wide. Signed by the artist.
