Navajo Artisans - CLARISSA & VERNON HALE - Hand Cut Lapis Cluster with Hand Made Link Chain!

$1,200.00

DESCRIPTION:
Designed in a simplistic style,but not simple in workmanship,everything & anything that it took to make this deserves appreciation for the fact that not only are ALL the stones cut & shaped by hand,but the remarkable chain was as well!!!!


It was made by using the large size Lapis cuts as the pivot & then working around them, by laying each of the smaller shapes in their proper place so the form has a perfect triangular look..

In comparison to many SW pieces,this is not "Over the Top" in size,but rather has a 'just right' feel for those who like a more 'simple statement' with necklaces they wear.

Having been a jeweler myself,what really impresses me with this,is not only knowing what it took to make the cluster,but for the fact that the link chain is totally made BY HAND!! This is something you just don't see too often & when you do,it gives you that much more respect to the artist..

The links have a good size opening,so the chain will also work as an extender..So if you want to bring it up higher,you would just hook the hook anywhere within the chain! If you want to wear it longer,you can either make an extender yourself or have one made! Even the hook & eye closure is hand made!

It's nice to see when artists such as these,spend numerous hours on a piece that can only ensure you, that not only is the piece going to be made right,but everything will be done by hand,from beginning to end!! They do,what many don't! THIS is the beauty of the Hale's work!

**Be sure to check out the other Lapis pieces I have listed that would pair with this beautifully!!(See last photos—Look under “Rings” & “Even More Earrings” categories *
