Nasngwam.×Herman Vandever / Herman Vandever MORNINGSTAR TOP

A special collaboration jewelry piece created to commemorate Nasngwam.'s 20th anniversary.
This is a masterpiece by popular Navajo artist Herman Vandever, whose work exudes a timeless presence.
Nasngwam.'s iconic morning star design is expressed using Herman's beautiful shadow box technique.
The three-dimensional finish and the heavy texture of the silver are an exquisite match, giving it a timeless appeal.
Each piece is handmade, so you can enjoy the slightly different expressions of each piece.

[Herman Vandever]
Herman Vandever is a top Navajo artist who has won dozens of awards at numerous shows and is highly skilled in creating pieces that are carefully crafted down to the smallest detail using traditional stamp work, three-dimensional shadow boxes, and overlay techniques.
Among his works, the most notable is the shadow box pendant top, which is a technique unique to him.
"Shadow box" refers to a technique that creates a three-dimensional effect on the entire piece of jewelry by creating a "groove" around the turquoise or motif.
The grooves in his pieces are dug deep, which gives the jewelry a clearer look and makes the turquoise and motifs appear more three-dimensional.
He also uses the overlay technique to create pieces with silver flowers on a turquoise background.
"Overlay" involves drawing a design on a silver sheet and then cutting it out with a saw.
Then, the other sheet with the design is smoked to turn it black.
Finally, these two sheets are glued together to create a finished product, a technique that requires skill and effort.
His work is also stamped by the Vatican, giving it a luxurious finish.

The pendant top has a strong presence, but it also pairs perfectly with the special collaboration Bright necklace made to order by Nasngwam.
