- About The Eight Petal Openwork Pin
Each petal echoes the overall marquis shape of the pin. The form is closed with an open system so that one can view the fabric through the open center of each petal! This is a difficult casting undertaking using tufa stone.
- About Navajo
- The Navajo were the first of the Native Americans of the Southwest to learn silversmithing from the Spanish. Most Navajo jewelry emphasizes silver, with turquoise stones used as an accent. Some pieces are cast in sand or tufa molds, while others are hammered, using a male stamp and a female die.
