Square Shaped Silver Earrings with Etchings [SOLD]

Jewelry items worn for adornment by the Pueblo Indians have traditionally been simple and elegant. These silver earrings made by Hopi artist Howard Sice are a wonderful example of this concept.

Designed with triangular, lined, and sun-shaped etchings, these square earrings are beautiful to observe. They shine in a highly appealing polished silver while the etchings are of more of a matt feel and presence. The design is elegant and time-honored.

The back sides of the earrings are signed Sice Sterling.

Jewelry artist Howard Sice is known for his etching technique, creating delicate designs on a silver surface. He has won numerous awards and has exhibited at Santa Fe's Indian Market, the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, and Arizona State Museum.

Howard Sice (1948- ) is the son of a Hopi mother and Laguna Pueblo father. He served in the United States Air Force for 20 years. After finishing his military career, he began a new career in silversmithing.
