About the Item

Gail Bird and Yazzie Johnson 18 karat mix and match gold earrings with Yowah opal and star ruby cabochons. Maker's Mark, 18K. The larger earring: 1.20" x 0.87". The more petite earring: 1.01" x 0.76". The centerpiece of each earring is a mesmerizing Yowah opal, known for its captivating play of colors. Surrounding the opal is a delicate halo of lustrous 18-karat yellow gold, expertly handcrafted with intricate textures and patterns. Completing the design are two stunning star rubies, their deep crimson hues exuding an aura of mystique and elegance. Gail Bird (1949- ) and Yazzie Johnson (1946- ) are Southwest Native American artists known for using remarkable stones and refined settings. Gail Bird (Santo Domingo/Laguna Pueblo, b. 1949) and Yazzie Johnson (Navajo, b. 1946) are artists known for their innovative jewelry combining modern designs with prehistoric motifs that celebrate their ancestors. The two have collaborated on major artistic works, including storytelling belts, and are considered one of the transformative forces in twentieth-century Native American jewelry. The jewelry works of Bird and Johson are included in the permanent collections of several museums, including the British Museum, the Scottish Museums and the Smithsonian Institution.
