Lovely Stone To Stone Sunface Dangle Earrings

The Zunis believe that the Sunface symbol is beneficial as it represents balance in life: traditionally, turquoise (blue) stands for Father Sky, coral (red) stands for Mother Earth, and mother-of-pearl shell (white) and jet (black) represent all the elements in balance. Delbert Kallestewa's glorious sterling silver Sunface dangle earrings are from turquoise, spiny oyster shell, abalone, jet and mother-of-pearl shaped to fit directly next to each other in the stone to stone jewelry technique. A twisted silver rope accented with lovely petal-like shapes adorn the borders of these approximately 1 1/2" long including hooks and 5/8" wide earrings for pierced ears. They are of a lightweight in wearability. Signed by the artist.
