DESCRIPTION

This brooch pin starts with a beautiful hand cut and deep notched silver frame. The artist has had stamped Native designs of an overlay of spiral coils, hand stamped sunburst and hand dropped silver rain beads surrounding the bezel. Within the bezel is a hand cut and polished Pilot Mountain turquoise stone. The back of this work of art holds a traditional brooch pin.



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.



The small pits in the shell show its authenticity. Manmade shells, made of an epoxy or plastic material, will be smooth with no pits or grooves.





ARTIST

Albert Cleveland and his wife Jackie are no strangers to those who are familiar with Navajo artists. Their art work and silver designs can be found all over the world and are prized possessions of fine silver collectors and lovers of beautiful Native American jewelry. Albert’s hallmark stamp “AC” can be found stamped on the back. When Albert and his wife collaborate on pieces the hallmark is "AJC". Albert and his family live and work in the Gallup Mew Mexico area.
