Quinton Quam Collector Suite
Necklace • Earrings • Ring
Sterling Silver • Turquoise • Lapis • Mother of Pearl • Jet • Shell
One-of-a-Kind Handcrafted Zuni Inlay
The first birds to sing each morning don’t perform because anyone is listening. They sing because it’s who they are. That quiet kind of joy is woven into every piece of this remarkable suite.
Created by acclaimed Zuni master Quinton Quam, this matching collection is a celebration of life, color, and extraordinary craftsmanship. Every bird, flower, leaf, and branch is painstakingly hand-cut from natural stone and shell before being fitted together into intricate mosaic inlay. It’s one of the most technically demanding forms of Native American jewelry, and Quam has become one of its most respected modern masters. His work is especially prized for its joyful bird motifs and meticulous execution, with museum-quality necklaces and elaborate bird jewelry commanding premium prices in leading Southwestern galleries.
The necklace features five beautifully balanced bird panels connected by heavy sterling links, each depicting a unique bluebird nestled among blossoms. The matching earrings echo the same vibrant imagery, while the size 7 ring completes the suite with a perfectly scaled miniature composition.
Finding one signed Quam bird piece is special. Finding a matching three-piece suite is exceptionally uncommon.

Why We Love It
Collectors often talk about “artist identity”—the work you can recognize from across the room. Quinton Quam has that rare quality. His birds aren’t simply decorative; they have personality. Combined with flawless stone fitting and elegant silverwork, this suite feels more like wearable folk art than conventional jewelry.
From Eric
There are artists who make jewelry, and there are artists who create little worlds. Quinton Quam falls into the second category. Every bird has its own posture, every flower its own rhythm, every panel feels alive. I love complete suites because nothing has been separated by time. After all these years, these three pieces are still telling the same story together. I think they should stay that way.
