Jan Loco is a member of the Warm Springs Apache tribe. She began making jewelry in 1988. She has developed a method of making jewelry without the use of hand tools. After cutting the silver to the desired shape (with heavy-duty poultry scissors or something similar), she hammers it with a specially selected rock until she achieves the texture she desires. This is a laborious task, but she feels it honors her ancestry to use items of nature rather than power tools.
This sterling silver hand-hammered cross is decorated with a copper heart at the center and highlighted with 14k gold designs. It was designed to be worn as a pendant. It is inscribe on verso .925/Y6 and Loco+.
