These stunning Zuni dangle earrings feature a vibrant double-drop design crafted in sterling silver and set with a mosaic of synthetic opal, turquoise, malachite, lapis, and coral. Each stone is individually cut and fitted by hand, creating a colorful, shimmering patchwork that highlights the precision and creativity of traditional Zuni craftsmanship. The two-tiered form gives the earrings beautiful movement, while the silver framing adds depth and contrast to the lively inlays.
Mosaic Inlay is a signature Zuni technique in which artisans create intricate patterns by cutting each stone piece to perfectly fit within a silver frame. This method not only strengthens the structure of the jewelry but also transforms every pair into a unique work of wearable art—rich in pattern, color, and cultural tradition.
