++ Navajo Made Sterling Silver Pueblo Cross Pendant++ by Diné artist Gino Antonio

Exquisite artistry by Diné artist Gino Antonio 🤎 Hand fabricated from sterling silver using traditional tufa stone casting and hand-stamping techniques, this heirloom-quality Pueblo Cross pendant embodies strength, resilience, and a deep connection to Diné homelands. Each pendant begins as a one-of-a-kind creation, cast from hand-carved tufa stone and finished entirely by hand. No two are exactly alike. The natural textures left by the tufa casting process create a landscape-like surface that echoes the rugged beauty of the Southwest. The Pueblo Cross is a revered symbol found throughout Pueblo and Southwest artistic traditions, often associated with balance, harmony, protection, and the interconnectedness of life. In many contemporary interpretations, it is also linked to the dragonfly, a symbol of transformation, renewal, and adaptability. Finished with a soft deerskin leather tie, this wearable work of art is designed to be collected, cherished, and passed down through generations. ✨ Details • Handcrafted by Diné artist Gino Antonio• Sterling silver• Traditional tufa stone casting process• Hand-stamped details• Soft deerskin leather tie included• One-of-a-kind handmade artwork 📏 Dimensions • 2-3/4" x 1-1/4"• Weight: 0.5 oz• Sterling Silver• Hand-fabricated Tufa Cast 💛 About the Artist Born and raised within the heart of the Navajo Nation, inside the Four Sacred Mountains, Gino Antonio is a Diné artist, veteran, father, community advocate, and founder of Pollen Circles.
