Description: These stunning earrings were designed and hand-crafted for us by critically acclaimed Navajo/Zuni artist, ALEX SANCHEZ. They feature a beautiful turquoise cabochon at the top from which dangles a sterling silver drop with a variety of petroglyphs. These include swirls, hummingbirds, bears and hands which represent life's journey, purity, new beginnings, hope, healing, strength and courage. Earrings are substantial and eye-catching, measuring approximately 3 1/2" x 1/2" and weighing 26.8 grams of perfection. Alex Sanchez (b1969) is an award-winning artist whose work is instantly recognizable. He was inspired and taught much of his craft by his famed brothers, Myron (d) and Brad Panteah and by the three generations of silversmiths who came before him. His art incorporates traditional symbolism, stamping and petroglyphs with contemporary designs to create uniquely beautiful and wearable art. His stones are carefully chosen and integrated with his symbolic work. His art is at once traditional, contemporary, boho -- sometimes even playful and fanciful and always a statement. When not at work, Alex is enjoying life in New Mexico with his family including his wife, three daughters and grandchildren. Alex has won awards at The Red Earth show, The Gallup Ceremonial and the Navajo Nation Fair. We have carefully selected what we believe to be some of Alex's most unique and best work for this collection. Please see our additional and upcoming listings to view.
