Alvina Quam, Bracelet, Circa 1980s, Carved Turquoise, Zuni Handmade, 6 1/2"



Alvina Quam, Bracelet, Circa 1980s, Carved Turquoise, Zuni Handmade, 6 1/2"
Shirley, Diane Lonjose, Lorraine and Alvina Quam grew up watching their mother Alice Quam make jewelry. Each of them would eventually make their own handmade creations, some following the style of their mother’s and others something different. Alvina went with a classic Zuni technique, not cluster, but carved turquoise. She has filled this row bracelet with seventeen piece of sky blue Sleeping Beauty carved turquoise stones. A heavy styled silver border frames the stones and adds character to the piece. The bracelet is 30+ years old and will look amazing on.
