A sophisticated Navajo channel inlay pendant by Ray Tracey (Knifewing Studio). The two square panels are reversible, rotating freely on the chain — and when the two halves are brought together, they form a complete Yei figure, a sacred Navajo deity. The inlay work features purple, black, grey, and white stones, all set flush in precision channel settings divided by fine silver lines. The pendant slides on a sterling silver snake chain with two matching barrel beads. It is stamped on one of the inside surfaces where the two faces join together.

Ray Tracey (Navajo/Jemez) is one of the most celebrated contemporary Native American jewelers, renowned for his architectural precision and deeply symbolic imagery. A superb and cleverly conceived estate example of his Knifewing Studio work.
