Multi-Gemstone Inlaid One-of-a-kind Lizard Pin by Benny & Valerie Aldrich

About the Item

A simply exquisite inlaid pin made of many different stones including Turquoise, Chrysocolla, Coral, Spiny Oyster, Sugilite, all surrounded by 22 cut Amethyst stones then set in sterling silver. This piece is in like-new condition and has not been previously worn. I am its original owner. A rare opportunity to acquire a one-of-a-kind vintage example of the best of the Aldrich's work in pristine original condition. Benny & Valerie Aldrich are a husband-and-wife team who have been creating jewelry for over 40 years. The Aldrich’s were pioneers in incorporating faceted gemstones into southwestern-style jewelry in the early 1970s. Intricate inlays in vivid hues are a hallmark of their artistry, jewelry that marries traditional southwestern themes with contemporary colors, craftsmanship and style..
