Description
sz8.5 Lorraine Waatsa Zuni large natural turquoise sterling silver cluster ring. Tested and guaranteed solid sterling silver, circa last quarter of the 20th century. Some expected wear, weight and measurements in pictures.
Lorraine began jewelry making in the 1970's. She learned her trade by watching and helping her parents Alice and Duane Quam and grandparents Doris and Wayne Ondelacy. Her skills as a stone cutter and her husband Luwayne's skills as a silversmith combined are those of past masters. Their cluster Zuni jewelry is very collectable, as each piece is done with amazing precision. Her use of high quality materials, both in the turquoise and coral she chooses for her pieces, are also a hallmark of her beautiful work.
