DESCRIPTION
Hand cut blocks of orange spiny oyster shells on sterling silver hooks.
I have 2 pairs of this color and style but because the shell is authentic the coloring and matrix may be slightly different than the pair in the picture.





INFO

Spiny oyster is a clam shell oyster that can be found between the Northeast coast of Mexico and the East coast of Baha California in the Sea of Cortez. The shell functions the same as all clam shells but it is quite ugly on the outside with long hard extensions and a rough shell. The rest of the shell can be beautiful in different colors ranging from red, orange, yellow, purple and other shades. Each shell is cut in different sizes and shell pieces are polished for use. Much like a rough stone the polishing brings out incredible gorgeous colors! Native Americans have used shells for decades for various reasons from wampum as money to shells for jewelry.


ARTIST
Sadie Randolph is no stranger to the Native American art world. Her silver work can be found all over the world. She loves to design many pieces from stone and shell and work tem in to her silver designs. These are simple but elegant and rich in color. There is no place to hallmark on these pieces.

WEIGHT
.20 ounces

SIZE
Measuring the slab itself is 1.50 inches by without the hook and .50 inches across the bottom and .30 across the top. The hook adds .80 inches to its length, therefore hanging 2.30 inches. Each slab averages 2mm thick.

AUTHENTICITY

Certificate of Authenticity - This original piece of Native American art is new unless otherwise listed as vintage or pawn. It will arrive accompanied by our official Letter of Authenticity which documents the Native American artists name, tribal affiliation, gemstone materials, sterling silver and the price you paid so that it will help you establish and maintain accurate records. We take the utmost care in shipping it to you and it will arrive cleaned, polished and well packed for safety in a sealed bag wrapped in tissue paper in a gift bag.


We travel to New Mexico, the Native American jewelry capital of the world, and visit other artists throughout the Southwest 4 to 5 times a year to purchase direct from the traders or the artists themselves. My mother was born and raised in the West and still lives and works in the Grand Canyon. The Native Americans have always been a part of our lives and we have always surrounded ourselves with their culture and beautiful works of art.
All of our items are bought directly from individual artists or from well established, well known wholesalers and traders between Gallup, the reservations, Santa Fe and Albuquerque. We love to buy directly from the artists so we can support their craft as well as provide them a living for their incredible talents. It helps to bypass the middleman so we can send money back to our adopted families at the reservation.

It is against the law to post an item as authentic Native American if it is not. We do our best to describe each piece by the description, where it came from and the artist. We guarantee you will not find any fake, cheap or imported jewelry on our site. All of our items are Authentic Native works of art. All of our jewelry contains genuine silver, silver, gold and contains no pot metal, nickel, rhodium, pewter or other precious metal substitutes.
