Howard Nelson (Navajo)
These contemporary styled earrings are sophisticated and elegant. You can see why Howard is noted for exemplary silver work, which is evident in these earrings. Beautifully even, hand cut, silver feathers (symbols of prayers and hopes) float around the center of the oval shaped pair. The earrings have something of the art deco period in its streamlined design, but is a modern statement deeply rooted in Navajo tradition.

1” high by ¾” wide (Silver backed posts)
