BR616 Harpo bracelet turquoise inlay and silver

One of a Kind piece

Zuni bracelet in sterling silver inlaid of light Sleeping Beauty turquoise (Arizona).
 

The handmade Zuni inlay is often a gathering of different stones (turquoise, coral, mother-of-pearl, black jet), carved and put together in order to create a thin geometrical pattern. The piece is then polished in order to give a smooth and elegant finish to the jewel. 

This bracelet requires great precision from the artist, who works to cut the raw turquoise into several rectangles, to insert them on a thick sterling silver base. Each turquoise rectangle is separated by thin silver barrettes, creating an exceptional piece representative of the "channel inlay" process.
