ZUNI 14KT GOLD EARRING PENDANT NECKLACE SET MULTI-STONE MULTI-COLOR INLAY RED CORAL WHITE MOTHER OF PEARL BLACK JET AND BLUE TURQUOISE VIRGINIA QUAM

Acquired from a private collection and now available for purchase this rare 1970's 14 Kt gold earring and necklace set

by Virginia Quam.  In the 70's Wayne and Virginia Quam created some beautiful silver as well as gold jewelry.

What it looked like was as shown on this listing...

this multi-inlay jewelry using primarily 4 traditional Zuni colors red black white and blue.

Red would be oxblood coral black was jet or onyx, white was mother of pearl, then 

blue would be sleeping beauty turquoise.  By using these colors together

they were able to create a nice dramatic look in jewelry using nice eye catching bold cololrs.

Occasionally they would use yellow snail shell as well.  In addition they used either gold or silver 

making elaborate beautiful fancy edging another technique they used in their designs that

set themselves from many other artists.  This set is signed by Virginia only.  Wayne has passed.

This set is considered valuable and beautiful as well as collectable.  It is one of the many

traditional styles the Zuni pueblo and inparticularly the work by

Wayne and Virginia Quam was known for creating.

Earrings are approximately 2"L as is the pendant. 

The gold chain will be measured

upon my return to the gallery on Wednesday 5/12/21.

Thanks for looking!
