Another exceptional Etsitty!

This vintage beauty is a piece by renowned Navajo artisan Bobby “Slow Hand” Etsitty. It’s a unique spin on the traditional squash blossom silhouette; the double strand of polished desert pearls boasts 14 spacer “blossoms,” each adorned with a freeform turquoise nugget. It’s anchored by a crescent naja that nearly closes, adorned with 13 additional turquoise nuggets. It’s certainly a statement piece, and the color is extraordinary.
