15-Stone Rectangular Red Spiny Oyster Cluster Cuff by Kathleen Livingston, Navajo

Kathleen Livingston, a Navajo (Diné) silversmith, set 15 rectangular red spiny oyster stones in a cluster formation across this sterling silver cuff. Red spiny oyster (Spondylus princeps) is a Pacific shell historically traded across ancient Southwest trade networks and is one of the most culturally significant organic materials in Native American jewelry — valued by Ancestral Pueblo and Hohokam peoples centuries before European contact. The rectangular stone cuts give this cuff a geometric, architectural quality. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
