Navajo Kokopelli Dangle Earrings

Navajo jeweler Lucille Platero created these sterling silver Kokopelli earrings.  The stamp-work is beautiful and the bright turquoise in the center is a lovely accent. More about Kokopelli below.

Kokopelli images are on rocks along trade routes from the Southwest and into Mexico.  Many think that before he entered a village he played his flute to let people know he was arriving, and his rounded back was a pack containing the trade items.  There may have been generations of Kokopelli who traveled.
