Vintage Southwestern sterling silver hoop earrings featuring colorful multi-stone inlay. The design uses carefully cut geometric segments of turquoise, mother-of-pearl, jet, and shell set into a narrow channel, forming a classic Zuni-style triangular pattern.
Zuni silversmithing is well known for detailed stone inlay work, where multiple stones are precisely fitted together to create bold geometric designs. These earrings reflect that traditional Southwestern aesthetic in a wearable hoop form.
