Earrings, Slab, Spiny Coral, Hallmark, 438

Navajo silversmith Selena Warner continues the classic style of her mentor, Betty Joe, in this pair of contemporary, hand-crafted earrings. Using beautifully hued spiny oyster shell, she surrounds the oval tabs with simple saw-tooth bezels and dangles them from perfectly proportioned silver buds.

Selina Warner creates amazing old fashioned finish work in contemporary designs with many different stone and shell selections. She was taught by the masters themselves, Harry Morgan and Betty Joe. She is related to Betty Joe and Greg Pat.
