These two reversible pendants were cast by using a combination of cuttlefish bone and tufa stone with an overlay technique on one side. The pendant at left is based on Mimbres Indian pottery designs and seem to represent a shamanic figure on one side, and a pueblo priest on the other. The bale has a star motif with a piece of coral at the very top. 2.2" in diameter, $825. The pendant at right represents a horned lizard which is sometimes called cheii or 'grandfather' in Navajo. Horned lizards are associated with some types of healing as well as ease of childbirth. On the reverse is a beautiful rain cloud symbol. 2" in diameter, $675 (ON LAYAWAY) |

The only thing more compelling than this spectacular turquoise is the marvelous work Robert did on the ring itself. Not only is the 14kt gold bezel sandcast, but it has been so cleanly soldered to the sandcast base that it appears to be a single piece. This stone is 1.2" long. A size 9, this uniqe ring is priced at $1275 |
