Jesse Monongya Navajo/Hopi Jewelry Set - Inlaid Ring and Earrings

About the Item

Beautiful jewelery set by well-known Navajo/Hopi artist Jesse Monongya. The earrings and the ring are inlaid with various stones including: Turquoise, Mother of Pearl, Lapis and Coral. The ring size is 7 to 7 ½. The earrings are post with a safety latch attached and measure 1" x 1.” The ring is ½" wide and 1 1/8" across the top. The ring is stamped “J.Monongye,” and the earrings are each stamped the same way. These are striking pieces and great examples of the artist’s gifted inlay skill. Jesse Monongya (b. 1952) is an award-winning Navajo/Hopi jeweler known for his superb color combinations and contemporary interpretations of Native American designs. His jewelry portfolio ranges from simpler silver designs incorporating turquoise and coral, to extremely complex inlay used to create either geometric forms or scenes from nature, all intensely colored in natural stones, including lapis lazuli, jade, coral and diamonds. His work can be seen in museums throughout the US, including the Smithsonian Natural Museum of the American Indian in D.C. and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
