Zuni Handmade Jewellery
What are Zuni Jewelry? What makes them special?
If you have ever been down to New Mexico, then you have probably encountered this particularly exotic handmade jewelry already. Since 1920, handmade Zuni jewellery has been produced by the Zuni native Americans or Southwestern Indians. The most popular piece of this jewellery is the Zuni rings, which are handcrafted using 92.5 sterling silver and set with turquoise and different kinds of shells. Mother of pearls, abalone, conches and oysters add beauty and style to these stunning handmade masterpieces.
Other types of Zuni jewelry include bracelets and pendants that are also made from silver and embellished with turquoise and shells. Black onyx, coral and opals are also being incorporated in modern Zuni ring designs to make them more appealing, sophisticated and even more intricate. These gemstones are laid into the silver using ancient skills and techniques handed down from generation to generation by the Zuni forefathers. Just like these techniques, a Zuni ring can also be your legacy or heirloom that you can pass down to your children and to your children’s children in time.
Because of all the professional handwork and precise craftsmanship that goes into the creation of a Zuni ring, you may think that they are very expensive. Rather, Zuni rings are priced at affordable and reasonable rates for the high quality and excellent workmanship. This make them a smart choice for a gift to a special someone or for a personal fashion investment.
So, if you happen to be within the vicinity of New Mexico, do not miss your chance. Find the nearest jewelry shop and buy an authentic handmade Zuni ring as your souvenir!
