This striking Zuni-made pendant showcases a powerful combination of symbols: a detailed sterling silver eagle in mid-flight, paired with two gracefully hanging feathers. At the center sits a natural turquoise stone, bezel-set and framed by traditional silverwork. The contrast of the bright turquoise against the intricate feather detailing creates a bold yet spiritually grounded piece.
In Native tradition, the eagle represents strength, vision, and the sacred connection between the Earth and the Creator. Feathers symbolize prayer, honor, and protection—often gifted as blessings or carried for spiritual guidance.
Turquoise holds deep cultural significance among many Native peoples, especially the Zuni. It is seen as a stone of protection, healing, and spiritual clarity, often worn to invite good fortune and a clear path forward.
