Lupe Iule (1916-1984) was born at San Felipe Pueblo and was the wife of famous Zuni artist, Horace Iule, who was her mentor. Her favorite designs were crosses. She was an active jewelry designer between 1937 to 1975, with this piece created approximately 1960 or so. This beautiful rare cross is cast in sterling silver, and is marked at back with artist stamped signature. It contains a beautiful colorful cluster of bezel-set stones, including turquoise, malachite, coral, lapis, yellow abalone, jet and white mother of pearl. It weighs approximately 92 g. Please see images for dimensions. Measurements are very close to 5.25” high x 3” wide. This piece is in excellent vintage condition with no flaws to note, and has a lovely, glowing patina. All of the stones are sturdy in their settings. This piece does not come with a chain, listing is for pendant only. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with questions.

jimmycat @kleinlori Thank you for that comment❣️—You know, it really is a stunner. It was purchased at Packards on the plaza years ago and has been treasured and babied! I don’t know if you remember the original Packard’s? They closed and of course the Southeast corner of the Plaza has never quite been the same… Packards was an institution!✨🩵xxoo

jimmycat @kleinlori I love the history of Packards, you probably know better than I do… Since 1944! I could not initially remember what year it closed, and it was 2013. This is such a great little history of the store… Stanley Marcus helped advise the owners in creating the unique and special Southwestern ambience.

kleinlori @jimmycat hi. I think I remember Packards. You are such a wealth of knowledge. It is absolutely gorgeous.

jimmycat @kleinlori thank you! But gosh, no, I’m not a wealth of knowledge at all really…It’s my hometown, so I know a little bit about downtown! So much history yet to learn and understand! Xo
