Pin, Cluster, Turquoise, Monumental 6″, Attribution, Vintage, 762
STUNNING STATEMENT PIN FOR THE TRUE COLLECTOR
This gorgeous and enormous pin is a traditional radial cluster by the highly sought-after and well-renowned Zuni artisan, Fannie Weebothee Ondelacy. Dozens of baby blue turquoise stones are set in tiny serrated bezels and accented with miniscule twist wire details and sterling silver drops, finished with Fannie’s signature repousse half-moons. A timeless collector, the kind that becomes a family heirloom.
Fannie Weebothee Ondelacy (1920 – deceased; Zuni). Cluster work; pendants; collar pins. Fannie Ondelacy shared the stamps with her husband Wayne Ondelacy. Sister of Lee Weebothee.
