Here's a wonderful pair of "hummingbird" earrings, made by the wonderfully talented Zuni artist Brian Hustito, that we purchased from a well known pawn trader in western New Mexico.
Brian made these earrings by inlaying very small pieces of turquoise, onyx, abalone and red coral into their sterling silver bases.
These "hummingbird" earrings measure 1" long and 3/4" wide. The pair weighs a very comfortable 8 grams. The back of each earring is stamped sterling and has Brian's hallmark (BH).
Notes:
1) Sorry about the pink colored reflections in the pictures but the shiny silver, and the convex shape of the earrings, made them quite difficult to photograph.
2) We have the matching pendant/pin available for sale. Take a look!
