About The Floral Channel Set Necklace & Earrings

The ultimate feminine accessory eternal blooms of hand-crafted inlay of green sea snail mother of pearl and red coral set in forged sterling silver! Every soft, heart-shaped petal is carefully cut from a select portion of the shell, so that the grained chatoyance of the mother of pearl creates an illusion of three dimensions. The petals appear supple, cupped and curved, as they overlap one another in all the colors of a Grand Canyon sunrise.

The five-petal earring blossoms and nine of eleven graduated five and six petal flowers of the necklace garland are all made of green sea snail shell with strawberry red coral hearts. Two of three central blossoms have strawberry red coral petals with mother of pearl hearts. This group is framed gracefully with a stem of three repousse hand-stamped leaves on each side.

The necklace is assembled on a double strand of hand-fabricated silver beads. Clip on earrings are entirely lightweight and comfortable to wear! These perennials are a stunning addition to any wardrobe/ collection!!! This breath-taking ensemble was created by famous Zuni artists Anselm and Rosita Wallace featured in Zuni The Art and The People Volume 2 copyright 1976 by Ed, Barbara and Steve Bell with Ralph and Jerry McQuery.

Marked Down from $5,600 to $3,900
