BA1735 turquoise and silver ring Harpo

One of a Kind piece - Zuni ring

Beautiful Zuni earrings. Sterling silver bears inlaid with White Water turquoise (Mexique). 

The bear symbolizes power, health and knowledge.

Inlay is a jewelry-making process masterfully perfected by the Zuni: a composition of real stones (most often turquoise, coral, mother-of-pearl and jet), cut and assembled by hand to create a geometric or figurative pattern. The whole is polished to a smooth, elegant finish.

Inlay is a Zuni jewelry technique. This ring is a fine example of channel inlay, a technique in which stones are separated by thin silver bars.

Width over phalanx: 1.2cm (1.1/2 inch)

This ring is in sterling silver.

Proudly Zuni handmade in the USA.
