This elegant Zuni-crafted pendant features a slim, tapered sterling silver silhouette inlaid with a vibrant combination of spiny oyster shell, turquoise, coral, and serpentine jasper. Each stone is meticulously hand-cut and fitted into clean geometric channels, forming a vertical mosaic that blends warm reds and oranges with cool blues and earthy greens. The polished silver framing brings a refined brightness that makes every color stand out.
In Zuni tradition, multi-stone inlay represents harmony, balance, and the beauty of bringing different natural elements together. Each stone carries its own energetic and cultural significance:
• Spiny Oyster Shell — creativity, warmth, emotional expression
• Turquoise — protection, clarity, spiritual blessing
• Coral — vitality, life force, and ancestral connection
• Serpentine Jasper — grounding, growth, and earth-centered calm
Together, these stones create a piece that feels spiritually rich, artistically crafted, and full of meaningful color.
