BR830 lapis inlay bracelet Harpo

Zuni bracelet in sterling silver inlaid with lapis lazuli.

The creation of this bracelet requires great precision:

He cuts rough lapis lazuli into several rectangles, that he inserts into a thick silver base. Each lapis rectangle is separated by a thin silver bar, creating an exceptional bracelet, representative of the “channel inlay” process. The lapis inlay creates a beautiful midnight-blue row framed by two grooves of oxidized silver. The result is an interesting play of light: shiny silver, matte silver and lapis blue.

Zuni inlay is most often a composition of real stones (most often turquoise, coral, mother-of-pearl and jet), cut and assembled by hand to create a geometric pattern. The whole is polished to a smooth, elegant finish.
