Sandra Parkett Pink Conch Shell Half Cluster Earrings

Lovely turquoise and pink conch shell half cluster dangle earrings, an iconic combination, handcrafted by Navajo artist Sandra Parkett. These beautiful dangle earrings feature a center of blue turquoise accented by five tear drop gemstones of pink conch shell set in a sawtooth bezel accented with sterling silver beads.

Clusterwork is an extremely time-consuming process, and fewer and fewer artists are taking the time to hand-cut their gemstones. A piece of cluster jewelry is an exquisite work of wearable art that showcases the unmatched lapidary skills of Native artists, and will be an heirloom for generations to come. Today, Zuni, Navajo, and Pueblo artists use petit point and needlepoint styles to create beautiful wearable art that will be an heirloom for generations to come

Earrings measure 2" long and 3/4" wide, with sterling silver French hooks. Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
