BA1381 Thunderbird inlay and silver ring

One of a Kind piece

Zuni ring in silver representing a Thunderbird inlaid of Kingman turquoise (Arizona), coral, black jet and mother-of-pearl.

Thunder Bird is a South West classic symbol for the Natives. It is represented as an impressive condor able to create thunder by beating its wings and lightning by blinking its eyes.

The handmade Zuni inlay is a gathering of different stones (most often 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.

Dimensions of the Thunderbird (L x l) : 2,3cm x 2,3cm
(1 inch x 1 inch)

Proudly Zuni handmade in the USA.


Each piece being unique, the matrix of the turquoise may slightly vary.
