Red Coral and Sterling Dangle Pierced Zuni Pueblo Earrings [SOLD]

These earrings have a lot of things going for them that make them special: from the top piece of deep red coral, the handmade links, the needlepoint and petit point (pronounced "petty")^* coral pieces set in perfect handmade bezels to the final silver dangles at the bottom these earrings have style. Good red coral is getting increasingly difficult to obtain, and these well crafted earrings are a rare find. They are late 20th century and are in absolutely fine condition.

^*The Zuni Jewelry work is of a more delicate petit point, needle point design or an intricate channel inlay created of sterling silver strips and a myriad of tightly fitted minerals including turquoise, coral and other gemstones.
