A little bit of history. ALICE QUAM began jewelry making in the mid 1940's. In the 1960's she began using a Hallmark. Her skills as both a stone cutter and a silversmith are those of a master. Her cluster Zuni jewelry became highly collectable, as each piece was done with amazing precision. Her use of high-quality materials, both in the Turquoise and Coral she chose for her pieces, were also a hallmark of her exquisite work.
