A Stunning 5 Opal Stone Cross Pendant designed by Zuni artist Lupeta Leekity (born in 1942, lives in Zuni Pueblo, New Mexico). These gorgeous opals are sent in a handcrafted sandcast sterling silver cross pendant. Hallmarked "G&L Leekity, Sterling".
This is the hallmark of George & Lupeta Leekity. The crosses are traditionally made by Lupeta but she and her husband share the same stamp. Lupeta learned the art of sandcast silver jewelry from her mother and father, Lupe and Horace Iule. She began creating jewelry in 1972 and started using this hallmark in 1977.
