Turquoise and Silver

Hózhó náhásdlíí' - Walk in Beauty - Collection
Across this collection this photo showcases the diversity of Navajo silversmithing when using silver and turquoise. Both very key design elements for the metal used in Navajo jewelry with turquoise stones embedded into the metal. As the turquoise stone in Navajo culture keeps a piece of culture and traditional value in keeping a connection to traditions.

The black surface allows for both the silver and turquoise designs to stand out in a way that catches a viewer's eye. The color contrast makes both the metal and stones more vivid through design details and craftsmanship.
