Gracefully sculpted in the traditional sandcast style, this elegant butterfly symbolizes transformation, hope, and renewal while showcasing the clean, flowing lines that make Southwestern jewelry so enduring. Unlike modern cast jewelry, sandcasting is one of the oldest Native American silversmithing techniques. Molten sterling silver is carefully poured into a hand-carved impression made in compacted sand, producing a distinctive piece with subtle organic character. Because each mold is created individually, no two sandcast pieces are ever exactly alike, making every brooch a wearable work of art. Beautifully balanced and lightweight, this butterfly pin is perfect for a jacket, scarf, hat, handbag, or as a treasured addition to any Native American jewelry collection. *Details Artist: Frances Jones Tribe: Navajo Material: Solid Sterling Silver Technique: Traditional Sandcast Design: Butterfly Brooch / Pin Measurements: 1 5/8" W × 1" L Weight: 8 grams Condition: Vintage *Why You'll Love It Authentic handcrafted Navajo artwork Traditional sandcast sterling silver construction Elegant butterfly symbol of transformation and renewal Lightweight, comfortable everyday wear Wonderful addition to any Southwestern or Native American jewelry collection Signed by respected Navajo silversmith Frances Jones Condition: New without tags.
