DESCRIPTION: 

This stunning necklace and earring set showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of Zuni artists Ray & Patty Edaakie. The pendant is finely hand crafted from genuine sterling silver and features a bold multicolor inlay pattern.

The striking geometric design incorporates traditional Zuni symbolism, with colors and shapes blending in perfect balance.

The necklace is beautifully strung with polished oyster shell rondelle beads, complemented by multicolor inlay divider beads and sterling silver cones for a smooth finish. The matching post dangle earrings mirror the pendant design, completing the set with elegance. Both pieces are signed and hallmarked by the artists.

This is a one-of-a-kind statement set, combining Zuni tradition with contemporary artistry — perfect for collectors and admirers of fine Native American jewelry.

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. 

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.
