Description
Zuni artisan Albert Lamar Peywa combines several traditional techniques in these drop earrings. Needlepoint stonework, where thin and narrow slivers of turquoise are clustered together, is a Zuni specialty. Here it's combined with tiny sterling silver granulation and a braid border.
This jewelry item comes packaged in a white box (pictured).
