Michael Bird-Romero is one of the best known as respected Native American jewelers working. He started in 1972 and has won many awards and is in many museum collections.
His work is always beautifully finished, and never mass produced. He makes everything by hand -- even his own ingot silver.
This beautiful pin is 1 5/16" wide at the rattle snake (which is 14K gold cast) and 4 1/2" long. The snake's expression is very sweet.
