Magnificent Inlay Sunface Earrings

How such tiny areas of inlay (Blue Gem turquoise, red abalone shell, mother of pearl and jet) are handled with excellent facility is amazing! Six especially minute raindrops of silver further form a silver halo for each sunface. These pierced earrings have silver posts.

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.
