About The Sunface Inlay Cuff Links

This beautiful pair of Sunface cuff links have no mark, save for a sterling stamp on the double-jointed findings attached to their backs. These are most definitely the fine work of a Zuni artist and silversmith at some time just after World War II.

The channel inlay is strong and solid. The walls of silver enclosing the inlay, thick and polished are an integral part of the design, not just a method of holding pieces in place.

The sunface is appropriate to both men and women. It is a symbol of lifeforce from the heavens. It connects us all with each other and all living things of this earth. It is a reminder of our place in the universe and that we all continue to be interconnected as part of something even greater.

Anyone wearing these to a corporate meeting won't need a Rolex. Personal style is prospective embodied. It can help say things there are no words for in any language.
