About The Butterfly Concho Pin

Impressive Navajo hand-made pin of good silver. This work has no mark on the back. The pin and pin findings are all hand fabricated as done in the late 19th and early 20th century pieces.

The single, beautiful old Royston turquoise stone just adds to that early look because the Royston mine has been played out for over half a century. The stone itself is a specimen treasure--exhibiting an arial view of water met by verdant landscape! It was created with sensitivity and a strong sense of classic design.

This stylized symbol of new life and resurrection would make a wonderful "bow tie" replacement. This is a fine accessory for the woman in business, because it marries beauty and strength in a symbol of hope. Wear it to a power meeting for luck and out to celebrate afterwards!!!
