Offered here for your consideration is a Zuni Sunface inlay squash blossom necklace and ring. This necklace features a lovely naja highlighted with a channel inlay Sunface design surrounded by teardrop shape inlays and two inlay dangles. The inlays are created with turquoise, coral, onyx and mother of pearl all resting in smooth silver bezels and accented with twisted wire and silver dots. The neckline is filled with eight blossoms matching the naja. Two strands of sterling silver beads conjoined into a single strand are strung on coated wire and silver findings finish off this necklace nicely. The ring features a mosaic inlay Sunface design similar to the necklace displayed on a smooth silver band, and these pieces would look great worn together or alone. Don't miss out, start bidding now!
