Frank Vacit Zuni sterling silver flower necklace pendant/screw back earrings. Solid sterling silver tested and guaranteed with weight and measurements in the pictures. No issues, circa 50‘s-60‘s.
The pendant bears the artist‘s hallmark, a distinctive fleur-de-lis symbol. Vacit, active between the 1930s and 1950s, was a prominent figure in Zuni jewelry making. He was married to the daughter of Leekya Deyuse, the legendary Zuni fetish carver, and his own artistic talents are celebrated in renowned collections like the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian and the Heard Museum in Phoenix.
Vacit‘s expertise extended beyond traditional Zuni jewelry styles like mosaic and channel inlay. He was a versatile artist, creating not only jewelry but also functional objects such as plates, desk sets, and letter openers.
