Sterling Silver & Purple Spiny Dangle Earrings by Shawn Cayatineto
Handcrafted by Navajo artist Shawn Cayatineto, these sterling silver and purple spiny oyster shell dangle earrings are a bold, vibrant statement in Native American jewelry. Purple spiny oyster shell — harvested from the Spondylus shell found in the Pacific Ocean — is prized for its rich, deep purple color and natural luster, making it one of the most striking materials used in Southwestern jewelry today.
Shawn Cayatineto's expert silverwork frames the stone beautifully, creating earrings with strong color presence and exceptional craftsmanship. The dangle style adds graceful movement and makes these earrings eye-catching from every angle.
Whether you're adding a pop of color to a neutral outfit or layering with other Southwestern pieces, these earrings deliver. A meaningful gift for collectors and lovers of fine Native American jewelry.
