DESCRIPTION
These "Powerhouse', modern day Kewa earrings are not your 'everyday' Pueblo style earrings & are made with a look that you can wear on the fashionable streets of NYC to anywhere else in the world!They are highly fashionable & you may agree that they are extremely different from any other earrings your gonna find!!
Anchored from a hand made/stamped sterling button is a perfectly formed barrel of bright blue Sleeping Beauty turquoise that is hand mosaic'd by Reyes with accent colors of red Spiny oyster that sits at both top & bottom..The shell is so precisely blended into the form,with no line of demarcation!
Dangling from the shell is the most accurately cut (2.8 mm) olive shell heishi that is cut by the hands of Farrell.At the end of the heishi are hand rolled orange Spiny Oyster shell beaded stoppers that finalize the design.Farrell is one of the most impressive heishi cutters,where if you run the length of the strand with a millimeter gauge,you will get the same measurement throughout!
Whether your hair is long,worn up & tousled,or short,these have such presence that will definitely be noticed!
They are beautifully made with a contemporary 21st century Pueblo look,while maintaining ancestral techniques. Since winning the award,Farrell & Reyes are climbing the ladder to success & they have become highly collectible!

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
I am not a professional photographer, but I do try to do my best at giving you accuracy in color. In order to give you close up photos so I can provide you with all the detail, photos can tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified than in actuality. .Please zoom in on the photo to see how they look on the ear, or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements to get an accurate idea of how big these are..
