Zuni Turquoise Cluster Pin Pendant By Alberta Ondelacy

Description

This lovely sterling silver cluster work pin/pendant is decorated with silver “raindrops” and repousse crescent moons with twist wire. Alberta’s mother, well-respected jeweler Fannie Ondelacy, was also fond of using crescent moons in her work. Zuni cluster work is characterized by rounder, fuller stones than petit-point or needlepoint. Each turquoise stone is hand cut. Signed: A. Ondelacy.
