This piece is a sublime representation of his Art.Raw and minimal, talking directly toour soul, tomake the sensitive chord of beauty vibrate somewhere...
Like a sculpture he hand forged the head of the Yei, radiating like the sun. With a thickness full of subtleness.And the twinkle in the eye of the turquoise...
The artist chose his stones oneby one, carved them. The green turquoise, the head, is a three dimensional glassyFOX turquoise with abeautiful subtle green tones graduation.The large 1 3/4\" long BLUE GEM turquoise has a gorgeous blue tone with ahint of green undertone giving it a warm feel. It is carved all in soft roundness.Finally the diamond shape turquoise is a cold pure blue FOXturquoise withsharp angles.
The bezel isunimaginable. It is aone of a kind, hand made by Gene Billlie, high bezel, flat regular on top... soothing for the eyes.
Then, after a \"ditch\" all around the Blue Gem, a chiseled sterling silver wall protects the body...Theetched collar inleaves is superbAnd of course the flamboyant headdress... ifyou can envision aradiant black sun...
The tips are extra substantial hand made tips for the extra thick 10mm diameter cord.They are 1 3/4\" long, cylinder style (opposed to cone) with a \"scalloped\"border on topreminding ofthe body of the Yei.
