Handcrafted dragonfly pendant inspired by original Navajo / Southern Plains jewelry from the late 19th century (circa 1870). This piece is a faithful reproduction that captures the spirit and symbolism of Native American craftsmanship from the Plains and Southwest.
The pendant is made using a thoughtful combination of materials, including alpaca silver, blue howlite beads, buffalo bone, and stainless steel beads, creating a balanced contrast between earthy textures and refined metallic elements. The dragonfly, a powerful symbol of transformation, movement, and protection in many Native American cultures, gives this piece both visual impact and deeper meaning.
With its antique aesthetic and handcrafted character, this pendant works beautifully as a statement piece, whether worn casually or as part of historical or traditional attire.
