One of a Kind piece

Zuni bracelet with Sleeping Beauty turquoises (Arizona) set in sterling silver. 

This stunning bracelet is a designer piece representative of the Needle Point and the Inlay techniques.
 

The Needle Point is a cluster of thinely hand-carved stones, as we can see with the numerous drop-shaped and stick-shaped turquoises on the three pieces composing this bracelet.
 

The central piece is enhanced of a Sunface in its center. Sunface is the sacred Sun Father, symbol of life, he is omnipresent in Zuni's culture. 

The handmade Zuni inlay is a gathering of different stones (most often turquoise, coral, mother-of-pearl, back 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. 

Wrist size : 16cm (6 inches 3/8)

Dimensions of the central piece (L x l) : 4cm x 4cm
(1 inch 5/8 x 1 inch 5/8)

Proudly handmade in the USA.
