Purple Spiny Oyster Earrings by Delores Cadman, Navajo

Delores Cadman, a Navajo silversmith from the Cadman silversmithing family, created these purple spiny oyster earrings in sterling silver. Purple spiny oyster (Spondylus) shell is among the rarest shell varieties used in Native American jewelry — its deep purple-to-lilac color is significantly rarer than orange or red spiny oyster and commands strong collector interest. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
