Cobble Inlay Cuff by Lloyd Tsalabutie

This sterling silver cobble style inlay cuff bracelet is a masterpiece by Lloyd, father of the late carver Jeffrey Tsalabutie. Carving only occasionally, Lloyd is more well-known as a jeweler. He is one of a few Zuni jewelers doing this gorgeous style of stone work. His signature is to incise a depiction of sacred 'Dowa Yalanne' or Corn Mountain located in Zuni, on the underside of his works.
Using all natural stones, Lloyd has formed six Zuni sunface, inlaid stone to stone in various combinations of either turquoise, red coral, sugilite, opal, lapis and jet. Cuff is 3/4" wide. The entire inner circumference is about
5 1/2" including opening of 1 1/8". - $1200.00

Collectible Squash Blossom Necklace & Earring Set by Evelyn Acque

Circa late 1960's to early 1970's, Evelyn created this phenomenal hand-made turquoise squash blossom necklace and clip on earring set. The natural stones used in this set are reminiscent of a sea-foam green color.
Each well matched turquoise stone is securely held with a hand cut bezel. Bursting forth from each station on the necklace are sterling silver squash blossoms, so pretty. Hand fabricated sterling silver beads are lovely in their own right, blending in beautifully.
Necklace is about 30" in total length, while center 'naja' display is 2 3/4" wide and 3 1/8" tall. A 'naja' is an Old World crescent form used on Spanish horse gear, an 'eye' if you will, as protection.
Clip on earrings are 1 5/8" long and 1 3/8" wide.
Extra shipping charges will apply due to insurance purposes. - $3500.00
