THIS ITEM IS ON CONSIGNMENT: The owner of this set has “set the price”. 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEED – You will love this EXTREMELY RARE ABSOLUTE PRISTINE set!!!!! It is my understanding that, sadly, Edward died from the COVID INFLUENZA in 2021. These EDWARD A LEEKITY sets are very rare. Nearly impossible to find them and when you do they are missing their earrings. This SET still has it’s original earrings from Edward and tragically he will be not making anymore. ZUNI Native American Indian HUMMINGBIRD Squash Blossom Necklace and earrings set. Although this does not have the typical “squash blossoms” it is considered that style/type of necklace by some collectors. Meticulously Handmade by Zuni Indian artist EDWARD A LEEKITY (deceased: 2021) please see photos for artist’s personal hallmark E. 94 (this is believed to be crafted in 1994 since Edward hallmarked his pieces with the year he created them). BEAUTIFUL, PAINSTAKINGLY ALL HANDMADE. Absolutely gorgeous in person. Please very carefully study all the inlay and hand-carving. I have seen many other Edward A. Leekity hummingbird necklace and earrings sets, thru the years, and this is by FAR the most intricate, ornate and BIGGEST I’ve ever seen. Truly an extremely very rare treasure and absolutely PRISTINE. Genuine NATURAL turquoise stones, creamy white mother-of-pearl seashell stones, black onyx and abalone seashell stones. No damaged stones, no cracked stones, no missing stones. LARGE FULL SIZE NECKLACE : 31 clasp to clasp (biggest Edward necklace I have ever seen). Matching earrings for pierced ears. Fortunately this still has it’s matching earrings. I believe this must have been in a collection and never used.
