Zuni Puebloan Artist~ VIVIANITA BOOQUA"-Contemporary Native American Earrings-Flush Inlay Lapis "Angel Wings" - 13.9 Grams! Very Wearable!
One thing that can't be denied is the exquisite workmanship that you're going to find in Zuni Puebloan artist "Vivianita Booqua's jewelry". Known for her impeccable 'flush inlay' work where she cuts each one of her stones that fit like a glove in their bezel & lay flush with the height of each bezel.
Made with a contemporary edginess, Vivianita never strays from the traditional techniques that were passed down from generation to generation. Given a very elegant-face framing form, these "ANGEL WINGS" are made where she cut each of the tear drop shaped cuts that gracefully graduate in size as they near the bottom. They're designed in a 'mirrored' style earring, so there's an actual left/right side.
They are given a mirror-high polished finished sterling, which adds to their contemporary ambiance & even though these are Native made, (which we relate with the southwest), these can be worn in OR out of the southwest! They're 3" long,but have a very wearable weight that your ears will love!! (see combined weights below)
