This incredibly intricate butterfly pendant was handmade by Navajo silversmith Fred Charley to exemplify Native American culture and a Butterfly Maiden Kachina from the Hopi tribe. This kachina is said to pollenate flowers in the springtime. Fred completes this pendant with fine details such as twist wire wrapped its stone, hand-cut negative space, and 3D detail. Fred uses two perfectly-matched, deep purple spiny oyster shell stones to create this piece.
