Hopi Post Earrings

The Civilized People (the Hopi American Indians) of Arizona have always had a great reverence for nature and the elements. It is in this same mindset that world renowned Hopi silver-smiths carefully capitalized on and incorporated traditional symbols and values into their designs for our collection of post earrings.

Some of our most popular designs by Darren Sayawestewa, one of the our most famous American Indian silversmiths, incorporate imagery such as water, air, fire, earth, the kokopelli, bear claws, buffalo, badgers, rabbits, turtles and geckos. It is through this incorporation of traditional art, modern jewelry and machining, as well as the famous two-tone silver-smithing technique of the Hopi people that he merges tradition and modernity.
