Orange Spiny Oyster 10-Stone Cluster Pendant by Travis J., Navajo

Travis J., a Navajo silversmith, hand-cut and bezel-set ten natural orange spiny oyster stones in a radial cluster pendant on sterling silver with rope and drop accents. Spiny oyster (Spondylus) shell from the Sea of Cortez has been traded across the American Southwest for over a thousand years and orange spiny oyster was among the most valued materials in pre-Columbian Pueblo trade networks. Cluster pendant work requires fitting multiple individually bezeled stones into a harmonious composition. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
