Silver Earrings of Hopi Maiden PAIR by Howard Sice

Celebrate the beauty of tradition with these Hopi Maiden earrings by Howard Sice. Crafted from sterling silver, each earring measures 1-½" in height and ½" in width, showcasing the iconic Hopi maiden with her distinctive hairstyle. The earrings are designed to mirror each other with their flat design, creating a harmonious symmetry that enhances their appeal.

The design is elegantly scored into the silver, adding depth and texture that highlight Sice's highly refined craftsmanship. Additionally, design elements are etched into the silver such as dragonflies and spiral glyphs. The simplicity of the form, combined with the cultural significance of the imagery, makes these earrings timeless. Perfect for pierced ears, each piece is signed on the back with Sice Sterling, a hallmark of authenticity and artistry.

Howard Sice, born in 1948, is celebrated for his distinctive etching technique, which transforms silver surfaces into delicate works of art. A son of a Hopi mother and Laguna father, Sice began his career in silversmithing after serving 20 years in the United States Air Force. His award-winning designs have been exhibited at prestigious venues, including Santa Fe's Indian Market, the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, and the Arizona State Museum.
