About The Turquoise Chandelier Earrings, Pierced

Absolutely "killer" pair of Zuni-made earrings! Pity no signature--not even a sterling mark. These little lobe gems are entirely elegant. The overall geometric "diamond" shape of the top and bar pendants are a meticulous lacework fabricated from fine half round wire and hand-made silver "raindrops" over a silver sheet foundation. There are 18 hand-cut, blue, natural turquoise stones in each earring. The overall length, including pendants, is 2". Width is 7/8" on the "diamond". An incredible amount of work went into these vintage 70's wonders.

About Zuni Jewelry
The best book to explain the steps in creating Zuni cluster jewelry is Oscar Branson's Indian Jewelry Making. Volume II. Look at page 48 illustrating each step to create a cluster bracelet.
