Pueblo Kewa earrings, Humming-bird feathers.

These feathers are inlaid of Kingman turquoise (Arizona), white serpentine, apple coral and butternut stone, on a slice of black-jet.

The Kewa are the masters of this inlay technique, which is emblematic of ancestral Native jewelry, even before sterling silver was introduced in the Southwest of what would later become the United States of America. 

In Native culture the humming-bird symbolizes joy, life, beauty, agility and love.

Hooks in sterling silver.
Size of the feathers (L x w) : 3,7cm x 1,3cm
(1 inch 1/2 x 0.1/2 inch)

Proudly handmade in the USA.
