ABOUT THE ARTIST:

In comparison to some 'veteran' Navajo metalsmith's, Geneva is a relatively young silversmith who learned the art of metalsmithing from her mother "Genevieve Apachito'..She is a New Mexico native who comes from Socorro,NM & continued being raised in Socorro county, in the town of Alamo,NM. Regardless of age or how long she has been creating jewelry,it’s the fact of how easy it comes to her, which is obvious in everything she makes.

THE EARRINGS:

Made in a "Cross within a Heart" design, these are made with evenly sized beads of sterling that surround the center cross. Even though these look like they might be simple to make, this style can be a tedious & time consuming process, when you figure that each of these beads were hand melted at precisely the same size so they can then be placed "precisely" atop of sheet sterling that has a oxidized finished frontside. The backside of the earrings have a contemporary mirror polished finishing.

Being these are all sterling,you have an abundance of versatility with these since they'll go with just about anything you pair them with! You can wear them when you do a day of all sterling, a day when you're wearing colored stone jewelry,you can also pair them with oxidized OR contemporary finished jewelry! And lastly,they're the perfect answer when you're looking to wear something with your Navajo Pearl necklaces! That's WHY they make the best 'go-to' earring!!!

**If you zoom in on photos 7 & 8 ,you'll see where I also have this style in a cross & a rectangular shape(Can be found under the “Earrings 1” category) . I also carry pendants/rings to match!(Under “Rings” & Pendants” )
