Ella Spencer, Pendant, Orange Spiny Oyster Shell, Navajo, 2 1/4"
Description
This striking Navajo handmade pendant by Ella Spencer showcases the warm, natural beauty of several orange spiny oyster shells. A bold, elongated oval cabochon takes center stage, framed by a radiant cluster of ten smaller round cabochons, each carefully set in smooth sterling silver bezels. The arrangement is enhanced by delicate twisted wire detailing and silver bead accents, adding texture and depth to the design. Known for its vibrant hues and unique striations, the spiny oyster shell has been cherished in Southwestern jewelry for centuries, symbolizing protection, creativity, and the beauty of the sea. The high-polish sterling silver setting provides a brilliant contrast, making the orange tones glow with warmth and vibrancy.
