Dragonfly Cross Variation Necklace

Price: $2,100 plus $15 shipping in the U.S.

This piece is made with varying size of handmade beads with variations of handstamped Dragonfly crosses.

Recently, I’ve been working on variations of the Dragonfly Cross.  It’s been a recurring design in my pieces of traditional jewelry.  Just as this necklace has several interpretations of the design, there are many ways to view the dragonfly cross and its development.  Allison Bird’s book, Heart of the Dragonfly: Historical Development of the Cross Necklaces of the Pueblo and Navajo Peoples examines both the prehistoric southwest symbol of the dragonfly and then the influence of the Catholic church.  I refer people to read this book so they can make up their own minds about the origin of this cross  what they believe the cross to mean.   Please contact me if you’re interested in purchasing this piece.
