Extra Large Turquoise Cluster Pin by Shirley Bahe
Extra Large Turquoise Cluster Pin by Shirley Bahe
An impressively large turquoise and silver cluster pin has the power to change everything about your look! This outstanding vintage pin is by Navajo jeweler Shirley M. Bahe.
Elegant brooches of this type are often referred to as manta pins because they were used to close Navajo and Pueblo dresses or shawls which are called mantas.
Like a bright shining star, the 4" large pin is handset with FIVE rounds of natural turquoise stones radiating out from a single center stone. Some stones are shaped like a drop and others are small circles. The brooch is further adorned with silver work including half moons, rope work, and an outside border of perfectly placed silver beads.Â
Wear this beauty right in the center of your shirt or your dress, and people will be mesmerized. Then, when you're ready to change up your look, pin this to a simple handbag, and you're instantly carrying something more captivating and more original than a $15,000 Birkin bag.Â
