Merlinda Chavez, Earring, Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, Zuni, 2"
Description
These Zuni handmade earrings by Merlina Chavez highlight the brilliance of Sleeping Beauty Turquoise in a traditional cluster design. Each earring features an oval arrangement of finely cut turquoise stones, set in sterling silver bezels with precision and care. The center stone is framed by a twisted silver rope, while radiating turquoise pieces create a sunburst effect. Small silver bead accents add texture and balance, enhancing the symmetry of the design. The bright sky-blue hue of the Sleeping Beauty Turquoise contrasts beautifully against the oxidized silver background, making the stones stand out vividly. Lightweight yet striking, these earrings are perfect for adding a bold Southwestern touch to any outfit. Chavez’s artistry reflects the meticulous stonework and cultural heritage of Zuni jewelry.
