While most Zuni Pueblo petit point jewelry contains turquoise, an innovative artist from Zuni used a unique shade of orange spondylus shell to make these lovely dangle earrings. A dainty pendant of silver drops, twisted curved wire and petit point pieces dangle by a link from a single post. The earrings are unsigned but are stamped “sterling.”
Condition: The Zuni Petit Point Orange Spondylus Shell Dangle Earrings are in excellent condition.
Provenance: from an extensive Southwest Indian Jewelry collection from a Colorado family
