One of a Kind piece

Zuni bracelet in sterling silver inlaid of beautiful Kingman Spiderweb turquoises (Arizona). 

This bracelet requires great precision from the artist, who works to cut the raw turquoise into several rectangles, to insert them on a thick sterling silver base. Each turquoise rectangle is separated by thin silver barrettes, creating an exceptional piece representative of the "channel inlay" process. 

The handmade Zuni inlay is often a gathering of different stones (turquoise, coral, mother-of-pearl, black jet), carved and put together in order to create a thin geometrical pattern. The piece is then polished in order to give a smooth and elegant finish to the jewel.
