This is a truly fantastic piece...Coming from another dimension, part fairy tale part ceremony.It will certainly make the heads turn around and demand respect.
It is made by the NAVAJO artist LYDIA BEGAY.She has an incredible talent to make us dream with the play of colors she can orchestrate in her jewelry.She has a true Visionary approach of her jewelry.She combines color with finesse, makes cluster with imagination.All, with the best selection of American turquoise, which she treats with ultimate respect.Because, she, her family, have been making jewelry for generations and generations... and Lydia Begay has knowledge of the traditions.She elevates the traditional jewelry to an Art.
This piece is striking.It is a composition of oppositions! An organization of powers.It could be this famous apercu of behind, how the forces work or at leasthow they look...And it is definitely dramatic.
The style of the necklace, with its old dark antique sterling silverlook,is already taking us somewhere...Then it is a maze of another kind withnever seen treasures!After passingthesubstantial purple spiny oyster marking thepoint of the piece andestablishing the mysterious terrain, it is a walk of the eye through marvelous green Carico Lake turquoise, of allnuances of green.Soft mossy greens, getting darker towards a forest green, dryer sage space with theultra fine tanweb veining.There is also the large rock area with a brown matrix.And the magical one with its pyrite spot... which, when arriving tothediscovery in the center, becomes a dark onyx.Not any kind ofonyx, no, a glowing black pillow stone which opens its heart to a matte and sparklygorge... remarkable!
The maze partmeasures 5.5\" x 4\" and stands royally and dignified on thechest.On each side the artist makes a rappel of the theme andshowcased the middle partby connecting, with hand madesterlingsilver links chain, a brilliant part consisting ofa spinyoyster and a little pure blue Kingman turquoise, giving the light to the whole piece.TheNavajo chain, made by LydiaBegay, is a customhand made chain for this piece.It is a thick gauge, has a large traditional hook... and has the fabulous antique style!
Thenecklace is 21\" long.It can be attached shorter if desired... or worn much longer as well, extensions made by Lydia Begay like the chain, would be provided.
