Zuni earrings.
 

These studs earrings represent Sunface, inlaid of Sleeping Beauty turquoise (Arizona), mother-of-pearl, coral and black jet. Its face is enhanced with little hand-carved silver rounds.
 

Sunface is the sacred Sun Father. It is symbol of life and is omnipresent in Zuni art.

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.

Diamensions : 8mm x 14mm

These earrings are in sterling silver.
 

Proudly handmade in the USA.
