Vintage Native American Sterling Silver .925 Zuni Inlay Geometric earrings

Description

View Vintage Native American Sterling Silver .925 Zuni Inlay Geometric earrings with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. These striking vintage earrings showcase the intricate craftsmanship of Zuni-style stone-to-stone inlay. The trapezoidal sterling silver frames are meticulously set with a geometric mosaic of natural turquoise, black onyx, and orange spiny oyster shell. This style of 'channel inlay' or 'mosaic inlay' is a hallmark of Southwestern Native American artistry, where each stone is hand-cut and ground to fit flush with the metal and neighboring stones. The design is modern yet rooted in tradition, making them a versatile accessory for collectors of Southwestern jewelry or vintage silver. The earrings are post-style for pierced ears and appear to be in excellent vintage condition, with a light patina on the silver that adds character. Their small, wearable size of a little less than an inch, makes them perfect for daily wear while still offering a pop of color and artisanal flair. Condition: Used.
