This stunning pair of earrings is a true example of Zuni craftsmanship! Hand crafted by artist Patty Edaakie, these earrings are made of genuine sterling silver and real multicolor inlay. The inlay consists of turquoise, coral, jet, and mother of pearl, carefully set in a geometric design that incorporates a traditional Sunface pattern at the center. The clean silver framing enhances the colorful inlay, creating an elegant and timeless finish. The earrings are stamped sterling, Zuni, and hallmarked by the artist.

Corals are known to be very soothing and very protective. Coral is of an organic origin; it is the skeletal remains of marine animals called Coral Polyps. Colonies of these tiny creatures build branching structures as they grow, gradually forming reefs and atolls.

Turquoise is the birthstone of December. It is believed that turquoise tends to bring good fortune, strength and helps overcome illness. Turquoise got its name from the Levantine traders called Turks who brought the stone to Europe from Persia via Turkey centuries ago. Native Americans have prized turquoise since the time of the Aztecs, who mined it in New Mexico. The natural variations that occur in turquoise are part of its appeal and beauty.
