BO390 Harpo inlay and silver butterfly earrings

Zuni earrings

Stunning butterflies inlaid with Sonoran turquoise (Arizona) and black-jet on sterling silver.

In Native culture, the butterfly is symbol of fulfillment, grace and metamorphosis.

In this case, these butterflies are a signature piece by a renowned Zuni artist, known for her great and inspiring inlay work.

Inlay is a Zuni jewelry process in which real stones (most often turquoise, coral, mother-of-pearl and black-jet) are cut and assembled by hand to create a geometric or figurative pattern. The whole piece is polished to a smooth, elegant finish.

Dimensions (L x W): 5cm x 2.2cm
(2 inches x 0.3/4 inch)

Hooks in sterling silver.
Suitable for pierced ears only.

Proudly Zuni handmade in the USA.
