AMAZING OOAK Anglo Handmade Don Staats Multi Gem Raised Inlay Pendant Necklace

Description: • Don Staats (July 3, 1938 - June 29, 2020) was an acclaimed Arizona artist with deep creative roots. Don began his career in 1958 when he opened his first art studio in Phoenix, Arizona. Since then, he has worked with many different media to hone his artistic skills and express his creative spirit. In 1962, Don moved to Los Angeles where he did freelance automotive design until he was hired by Carrol Shelby’s Cobra design group in 1963. Don worked designing signature Cobra cars until 1966 when a near-fatal car crash permanently changed his path. After a two-year recovery period, Don Staats returned to University of Minnesota and later resumed his art career in Phoenix where he reopened his studio and focussed on bronze casting, oil painting, and jewelry making. It was during this time that Don mastered his metalworking skills for which he is best known today. Don’s contemporary Southwest jewelry has been collected by art galleries, museums, and individuals since 1970. His work has been featured in numerous publications and has gained a following worldwide. Part of the appeal of Don’s artistry is his use of many rare, semiprecious gemstones, which he had been collecting for some 40 years. His love for the color, shape, and natural variations in each stone is apparent in his jewelry, which combines materials such as sugilite, coral, lapis, charoite, spiny oyster shell, and turquoise (including Orvil Jack). All of his materials are natural -- never dyed or stabilized. Don Staats hand-polished and placed each stone to create the unique, one-of-a-kind styling that classifies his work. You are looking at a Fine Rare example of Staats museum quality crafted jewelry pieces. It’s a stunning sterling silver Pendant set with Gorgeous eye catching multi gemstone inlay and it is set on a beautiful marching gemstone & sterling bead necklace. One of the most beautiful necklaces I’ve ever seen. This is my favorite style jewelry. The pendants design Looks kind of like Charles Loloma style jewelry. I added some pictures including measurements so you can get an idea on what you're bidding on. It is signed on the back by Don Staats. The pendant stands roughly 3" tall, the necklace is roughly 21" long and together weigh a solid 45.9 grams. Take advantage of my low asking price. If you do some research you’ll see that his pendants Alone without a necklace sell for $1600+. This piece would make an excellent addition to any Native American collection. Thanks for looking.
