Majestic and deeply symbolic, this Zuni eagle pendant is crafted from solid sterling silver, accented with traditional hammer and stamp work, and brought to life with a single, vibrant turquoise stone set at its heart. Bold and powerful, it honors one of the most revered animal spirits in Native culture.
The eagle holds a sacred place in Zuni tradition—regarded as a messenger between earth and sky, a symbol of vision, strength, and spiritual protection. Soaring high above the land, the eagle sees what others cannot and carries prayers upward. This pendant captures that essence, evoking both grace and silent power.
Set into the body of the eagle, the turquoise stone serves as more than an accent—it’s a living element. Long treasured by the Zuni people, turquoise represents harmony, clarity, and protection, believed to align the wearer with both the natural world and higher spiritual energies.
The hammer work gives the silver a tactile, weathered texture, while the stamp work—applied by hand—adds subtle symbolic motifs, such as rays, rain, or sacred directions. These markings are not merely decorative; they echo prayers, stories, and the language of tradition.
Altogether, this pendant is more than a piece of jewelry—it’s a totem of vision and strength, handcrafted with purpose and heritage.
