Comments.  This is a large pair of beautifully hand-shaped and hand-tooled dome/’button’ earrings that look great on the ear. Native Americans are not only the first occupants of America—they also are the first American artists as reflected in prehistoric dwellings, petroglyphs, pictographs, paintings, basketry, pottery, foot wear, and clothing. If you appreciate the beauty, skill & spirit of real Native American hand-made jewelry, you will be delighted with these Marie Yazzie’s beautiful earrings. In conceiving, designing & crafting her jewelry, Marie uses knowledge handed down by generations of her Dine’ ancestors.  

The jewelry market is now flooded with fake “American Indian” silver jewelry that in fact originates in foreign countries and is either hand-made in ‘sweat shops’ or is mass-produced by machine in factories.  Native American artists rely on sale of their unique art to support their families. So by purchasing Native American hand-made jewelry & other arts you not only help support the artists’ families but also ensure preservation of their unique culture and artistic skills so they endure for many more generations.
