Zuni Sterling Butterfly Jewelry Set – Turquoise, Coral, MOP Inlay, Ring & Earrings
This exquisite Zuni butterfly jewelry set exemplifies masterful Native American craftsmanship, combining sterling silver with vibrant natural stones. The set includes post-back earrings, a matching ring (size 6), and a delicate 20-inch box link chain supporting the butterfly pendant. Each piece features an intricate inlay of turquoise, red coral, and mother of pearl (MOP), carefully cut and polished to fit seamlessly into the sterling silver framework.
The butterflies’ wings showcase a stunning mosaic of colors:
- Turquoise symbolizes protection and tranquility.
- Coral adds warmth with its rich red hue.
- Mother of Pearl contributes an iridescent luster, softening the design and creating balance.
The craftsmanship is exceptional, with each stone flush-set into the sterling silver, leaving no gaps and emphasizing the smooth, polished finish. Traditional twisted wire detailing surrounds the butterflies, adding texture and highlighting the artistry of the silverwork.
The earrings are marked Sterling, and the chain is marked 925 and features a secure spring ring clasp. The set’s components are designed to complement each other, making this a versatile and elegant addition to any collection.
Key Features:
- Materials: Sterling silver, turquoise, red coral, and mother of pearl inlay.
- Set Includes:
- Post-Back Earrings: Secure and lightweight, measuring 0.73" x 0.79" (1.85 x 2 cm).
- Ring: Size 6, tested sterling silver, featuring a matching butterfly motif.
- Chain: 20" 1.5 mm box link chain with spring ring clasp, marked 925.
- Weight: Total weight of the set is 16.19 grams.
Condition:
Good vintage condition. Stones are securely set, and the sterling silver retains its original patina. We have left the polishing to the buyer to preserve the piece’s natural character. The earrings include post backs for added functionality.
Why This Set Stands Out:
This Zuni butterfly set beautifully represents the cultural artistry and symbolism of Native American jewelry. Butterflies are a symbol of transformation, renewal, and beauty, making this set both meaningful and wearable. The vibrant inlay and handcrafted sterling silver design make it ideal for:
- Jewelry collectors seeking unique Native American pieces.
- A timeless gift for someone special.
- A statement accessory to elevate any outfit.
Dimensions:
- Earrings: 0.73" x 0.79" (1.85 x 2 cm).
- Ring: Size 6.
- Chain: 20" length, 1.5 mm width.
- Weight: 16.19 grams (total set).
This Zuni butterfly jewelry set is a rare and elegant find, showcasing both tradition and artistry. Perfect for wearing or displaying as a cherished piece of Native American heritage. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this exceptional set!
