Beverly Etsate, Pin, Mother of Pearl, Multi-Stone, Navajo Handmade, 1 3/4"
Description
This exquisite pin by Beverly Etsate showcases the intricate detail and symbolism characteristic of Zuni handmade jewelry. Crafted from sterling silver, the pin features a corn motif inlaid with a delicate mother of pearl, intricately carved to resemble traditional woven patterns. Tiny dots of multi-colored stones including turquoise, coral, lapis, and malachite are carefully set throughout the piece, representing sacred corn pollen or seeds, a powerful symbol of growth, life, and renewal. Framed with twisted silver wire and gracefully flared sides, the design captures a balance between elegance and cultural storytelling. The cluster of silver spheres at the base adds a refined, ornamental finish.
