DESCRIPTION:
This is a stunning example of Zuni artistry! This Native American jewelry set is handcrafted by artist Faye Lowsayatee, made from genuine sterling silver and manmade white opal inlay. The necklace features six teardrop-shaped opal inlays arranged in a cascading “V” shape design. Each stone glows with iridescent flashes of color, carefully set with silver dividers and framed with twisted silver borders. The centerpiece is finished with a dangling teardrop inlay that adds movement and beauty.
The matching earrings complete the set, each with a single teardrop opal inlay bordered in sterling silver for a perfectly balanced look. Both the necklace and earrings are signed Zuni and hallmarked by the artist.
Turquoise is the birthstone of December. It is believed that turquoise tends to bring good fortune, strength, and help 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.
