Description
 
This uniquely crafted necklace, pin and earring set were hand fabricated by renowned Zuni silversmiths, Warren and Doris Ondelacy. This set features 331 hand cut natural Morenci turquoise cabochons that are carefully set in fine hand crafted bezels. The bottom Naja measures 2" wide by 2 1/4" long. The necklace measures 21" long and features 6 smaller cluster naja's that measure 1 3/8" wide by 1 1/2" long, on a hand crafted link chain. Up close you can see the fine detailed, stamped silver drops that frame the outer edge of each naja. Matching screw back earrings and a pin accompany this lovely necklace. This set is dated to the 1940's and does not have a maker's mark--being of a time when such things were not commonly done. Please visit our artist biographies for more history on the Ondelacy family.
