Gibson Gene, Navajo artist and silversmith, has created a unique and special pair of dangle sterling silver overlay bear claw earrings. His artistry is so evident in his designs.  The total dangle is 1-3/4" including the sterling silver French ear wires. The bear claw earrings measure approximately 1" by 1/2". Gibson has stamped "Sterling" and etched 'GG' on the backs of the earrings. Very interesting earrings--sure to get many compliments.  What an artist!

          Overlay is created by “sweating”, or soldering, two pieces of silver together.  The top piece contains a design element which is meticulously cut out of silver.  The bottom piece is oxidized and often textured to produce a contrasting background.  They then carefully file, buff and polish to produce the fine finish on their beautiful item.
