One of a Kind piece

Beautiful Zuni ring representing Sunface, inlaid with Sleeping Beauty turquoise (Arizona), coral, black jet and mother of pearl.
 

Sunface is the sacred Sun Father. A symbol of life, it is omnipresent in Zuni creations.

The handmade Zuni inlay is a composition 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.
 

This ring is a signature piece made with extreme precision and great talent: on this fine work of marquetry the emblematic representation of Sunface is highlighted by a large oval background adorned with delicate silver bars recalling the feather design.

Dimensions (L x W) : 3cm x 1,7cm
(1 inch 1/4 x 0.3/4 inch)

This ring is made in sterling silver.

Proudly handmade in the USA.
