Posted by Four Corners USA OnLine on 16th Feb 2017

Inspired by his surroundings, life experiences, culture and beliefs, Navajo Jewelry Artist Calvin Desson passionately creates his story in stone and silver with such precision it appears like brush to canvas.

Native American Profile Inlay Pendant by Navajo Lapidary Artisan Calvin Desson NAP-1686. An exquisite male profile that portrays a story of daily life and challenges. Mr. Desson named this piece 'Billy Jack' perhaps associating with the movie character of the 1960/70's. Stones are meticulously cut so precise one might assume it was painted. The Silver work completes this wonderful Folk Art Pendant with straight edge outline and large dimensional bail. This beautiful piece of cultural Art is a must for any collector and truly an heirloom in the making meant to be passed from generation to generation.

This Deer Kachina and SunFace Kachina Dancer Pendants Set are exquisitely detailed and destined to remain together as they invoke the sense of 'Caring and Providing' in the same way Grandparents and Parents provide for their generations.

Cultural traditions are important in any society and it is only through the perseverance, patience and dedication of our family elders that these core values pass from generation to generation. Nothing could be more present in these wonderful Starry Night Pendants depicting Grandfather and Grandmother by acclaimed Native American Navajo jewelry maker Calvin Desson.

Collectible Navajo Jewelry Art to pass from generation to generation!
