Very Rare Split Shank Native American Zuni Turquoise Inlay Sterling Silver Bracelet

This is a marvelous Zuni inlaid double silver shank cuff bracelet. This outstanding bracelet is so unique as both shanks are inlaid nearly from one end to the other. The inlay consists of turquoise, coral, mother of pearl and onyx. I absolutely love how the artist designed this beautiful bracelet how the shanks seperate as the bracelet gets closer to the center.

The distinguishing feature of a Zuni inlaid silver bracelet is the stone inlay work. The Zuni artisans meticulously cut and shape various gemstones, shells, and other materials into small, precise pieces and then set them into the silver bracelet. The stones are arranged in intricate patterns or designs, often depicting symbols or motifs significant to the Zuni culture, such as animals, birds, or geometric patterns. Some of the gemstones commonly used in Zuni inlaid jewelry include turquoise, coral, jet, mother of pearl, lapis lazuli, malachite, and various types of shell. Each stone is carefully selected for its color, quality, and compatibility with the overall design. Zuni inlaid silver bracelets are highly valued for their craftsmanship, cultural significance, and aesthetic beauty.

These bracelets are not only fashionable accessories but also hold cultural and spiritual significance for the Zuni people.
