Zuni Pueblo - "Sheldon Lalie" -Hand Cut -Double Row- Mediterranean Red Coral- Channel Inlaid- 925 Small Hoop Earrings
DESCRIPTION:
Made of premium red coral,where each one of these miniature cuts follow the curvature of the hoop & are cut to fit in between the slivers of silver to create a channel of stone..They are made in a double row pattern that are sandwiched between a perimeter that has been sawed out..The coral has a high polish,mirror like finish.
Would make a perfect gift for yourself or one in your life! They are small & very wearable!! Even though Native made,you can wear these any where in the world without feeling you have to wear them with other Native American pieces!
**The price of coral is getting higher & higher,even as I write.What artists are paying now has greatly increased in pricing,even from 6 month's to a year ago,which of course is reflective in pricing.Everyone is feeling the bite with coral,from the the artist buying it(per carat weight),then selling to the stores who stock their jewelry,that then resell wholesale to store vendors & then finally the buyer,who pay the highest once jewelry is finished.It's like real estate,because what you pay today,will be a higher price tomorrow!***
I also carry these in Turquoise & are posted under “Earrings 1”*
