Vintage, Circa 1980's, Earring, Multi-Stone, Sterling Silver, Zuni, 1 1/4"

Description

These vintage Zuni handmade earrings from the 1980s are a stunning example of traditional cluster inlay work. Crafted in sterling silver, each circular earring features a radiant sunburst design made from Sleeping Beauty turquoise, abalone shell, jet, and coral. The fine inlay work forms a vibrant mosaic, with the center showcasing the classic Zuni sun face symbol. Surrounding the sun face, alternating patterns of turquoise and abalone create a dynamic play of color and light. The use of jet and coral adds striking contrast, enhancing the intricate details of the design. With their bold circular shape and vibrant hues, these earrings embody the artistry and cultural symbolism of Zuni jewelry. Both collectible and wearable, they reflect the precision and creativity that make 1980s Zuni pieces highly sought after.
