Sterling Silver & Turquoise & Spiny Oyster Inlay Zuni Turtle Pendant brooch combo

Handmade Zuni turtle pendant and brooch by Angus Ahiyite (Zuni), beautifully inlaid with Kingman turquoise, vibrant spiny oyster, and shell composite.

This striking turtle features bright Kingman turquoise on the head and flippers, framing a bold composite inlay center of spiny oyster shell, white shell, and rich matrix tones. The natural colors create a vivid, one-of-a-kind desert palette with beautiful movement and depth.

The piece is signed on the reverse: Angus Ahiyite – Zuni.

Measuring approximately 1 3/4 inches tall (including bail) and 1 1/2 inches wide, this is a versatile combination piece designed to be worn two ways:

As a pendant, using the integrated bail

As a brooch, with the secure pin backing

A wonderful example of contemporary Zuni inlay work, perfect for collectors of Native American jewelry or anyone who appreciates finely handcrafted Southwestern design.
