You would have a difficult time finding a more perfect piece of jewelry than a Lorraine Waatsa piece. She learned from her grandparents than her mother Alice Quam on how to do everything right, it is about quality, not quantity. Lorraine spends hours hand picking the stones for her cluster pieces, so the color will match perfectly. The silver work around her small stones is precise and brings and highlights the lapidary work. This coral cluster bolo tie is a classic Zuni cluster work, the type her family has been making for decades. If you are into deep red coral this one was made for you, three rows of magnificent ox-blood Mediterranean coral stones. Mirror shined sterling brings out the beauty of the piece. Finished with sterling silver tips and a braided leather cord. 55.2 grams
