Navajo Reversible Mokume-game and Wright Mountain Turquoise Sacred Circles Necklace

Shane Hendren


Shane Hendren is a talented Navajo silversmith who specializes in the Japanese technique of mokume-game, a marriage of metals technique which represents his values of balance and harmony while reinforcing his traditional understanding of the universe. Shane has found many parallels between the Samurai tradition and his own Navajo traditions, and his jewelry is symbolic of the way Shane walks in two worlds and a physical representation of it. He has won awards from the Santa Fe Indian Market, the Heard Museum, and many other shows throughout the country. He is the 2007 IACA artist of year.

This stunning reversible necklace is a masterpiece with seven tufa cast circles. Shane explains his necklace design as follows: "In Navajo culture, we are taught to think seven generations ahead. I have included seven significant circles to represent those seven generations. The layers of metal in the mokume-game and marriage of metal represent how we are all connected through layers of generations." This is the necklace design that Shane made and won the 2007 IACA artist of the year competition.

The necklace measures 26 inches in length. The circles measure 1 inch in diameter each and have Mokume-gane shadowboxed on one side and natural Wright's Mountain turquoise inlaid on the reverse side. They are joined with handmade tufa cast sterling links measuring 3/4 inch in diameter each. The natural Wright's Mountain inlaid turquoise stones measure 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch and the shadowboxed mokume-gane also measure 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch.



Signed with Shane's hallmark. Weight 5.35 oz/151.7 grams.
