Micaceous Clay Necklace and Earrings Set by Eric Marcus, Taos Pueblo

This striking natural micaceous clay necklace and earings set by Eric Marcus, (son of Angie Yazzie), is a beautiful example of contemporary Native American wearable art that honors traditional materials and techniques while embracing bold, organic design. The piece features a mix of hand-formed beads in varying shapes and sizes, creating a rhythmic, asymmetrical flow. Prominent are the distinctive petal-like or bell-shaped elements. These petal forms add a sculptural, almost floral quality to the necklace, giving it an earthy yet elegant movement when worn. A standout large teardrop-shaped pendant serves as the dramatic focal point at the center, its elongated, droplet form echoing natural shapes like falling water or seed pods. Length: 21″
