Zuni Ring Native American Sterling Silver Turquoise Sun face Kachina sz 8.5US

Description: This is a beautiful Zuni handmade ring, sterling silver band inlaid with turquoise mother of pearl, jet and coral stones. Elegant and beautiful Southwestern collectible jewelry. This piece was hand made by a Zuni artist initials "ACU" April Ukestine, a member of the Zuni Tribe. Ring size: 8.5 inches (US)Sun Face: 0.875 inches long X 1.75 inches wideWeight: 18 grams The Zuni tribe, now located in northwestern New Mexico, was the second Native American group to learn Mexican silversmithing techniques. Navajo artist Atsidi Chon initially taught the art to a member of the Zuni tribe. Their artisans refined the Navajo cluster work technique, characterized by a series of shaped stones glued into bezel settings. Cluster work later evolved into the more intricate petit point and needlepoint styles. Though bezel-set cluster necklaces and bracelets can still be found, most modern Zuni jewelry is characterized by stone inlays, animal shapes and a bold use of color. Inlaid pieces are extremely popular due to their beauty and classic lines. Zuni craftspeople are renowned for their skill with inlay, a technique in which multiple stones are pieced together to form a single image. Colorful stones are cemented into channels created by soldering pieces of silver to a backing plate. The stones are then polished flat, resulting in a gorgeous multicolored figure with veins of silver running through it. Turquoise and coral are among the stones frequently used in Zuni jewelry. Nineteenth and early twentieth century jewelry makers also made use of locally sourced materials such as lapis lazuli, malachite, spiny oyster shell and deer antler. Contemporary Zuni craftspeople have expanded their range to include exotic stones, though the tribe’s love of jewel tones still dominates.
