BA1773 Harpo silver and marquetry ring

Zuni Ring

This elegant Zuni ring features a rectangular mosaic of black pen shell, coral, and Sleeping Beauty turquoise (Arizona), delicately set in sterling silver.

Mosaic inlay is a hallmark jewelry technique of Zuni artists. This method involves hand-cutting and carefully assembling stones to create a design, whether geometric or figurative. The piece is then meticulously polished to achieve a smooth, refined finish. It is an exceptionally detailed craft, renowned for its unmatched finesse.

The design on this ring is emblematic of the artist's style, reminiscent of the shapes usually found on Native weaving.

Dimensions of central part (L x W): 3,3cm x 1,7cm
(1.1/2 inch x 0.5/8 inch)

This ring is in sterling silver.

Proudly Zuni handmade in the USA.
