    Abalone and Sterling Silver Necklace and Earring Set

    Abalone and Sterling Silver Necklace and Earring Set

    Artist: Dennis Chuculate (Acoma Pueblo / Cherokee)

    This abalone and sterling silver set showcases Dennis Chuculate’s skill in creating statement pieces with natural luster and clean, traditional Native silversmithing work. Each oval abalone cabochon is bezel-set in sterling silver, linked with sturdy hand-formed rings that give the necklace both movement and visual weight. The abalone pieces display deep iridescent tones with swirling purples, blues, greens and golds that shift in the light. The necklace measures 20 inches and lays comfortably as a bold single strand.

    The matching earrings feature oval abalone cabochons set in sterling bezels and hang from French hooks. Each earring measures approximately 1 1/4 inches in length (not including the hook), offering a balanced complement to the necklace without overwhelming the design.

    Together, the set highlights Dennis Chuculate’s Acoma Pueblo and Cherokee artistry through refined metalwork and careful stone selection, making it a strong collector’s piece or a standout accessory for formal wear.
