Quandelacy and Amy Quandelacy
Husband-and-wife team Dickie and Amy Quandelacy began working together
in the early 1970s. Dickie learned to make jewelry from his mother,
Ellen Quandelacy; and he, in turn, taught Amy. The abstracted double
hummingbird design for which Dickie and Amy have become known originated
with Ellen. While the two no longer work together, both Dickie and
Amy continue to use the design. Other Quandelacy family members
also use the hummingbird design, but it is executed in a different
style of jewelry.
Dickie and Amy's work is variously described as "raised solid
inlay work" or "raised, carved, three-dimensional channel
inlay." While still working together, Dickie typically did
the silverwork, while Amy did the stonework. Their work was marked
with D. & A. Q.
