One of a Kind piece - Zuni Bracelet 

Navajo bracelet in sterling silver inlaid with Sleeping Beauty turquoise (Arizona), marble, and black-jet.

The Zuni inlay, masterfully crafted here by a Navajo jeweler, is composed of genuine stones (most often turquoise, coral, mother-of-pearl, and jet), cut and assembled by hand to create a geometric pattern. The whole piece is then polished to achieve a smooth and elegant finish.

The creation of this bracelet requires great precision on the part of the artist, who works to cut the stones and raw turquoise into several rectangles. He then inserts this inlay onto a thick silver base. Each rectangle of turquoise and other stones is separated by a thin silver bar, creating an exceptional piece representative of the process known as “channel inlay.”
