Zuni Channel Inlay: Celestial New Moon Necklace and Earrings Set

This exquisite set of necklace and earrings is a refined testament to the masterful Zuni channel inlay technique, a signature style of Pueblo jewelry artistry. The central focus is the pair of captivating crescent moon forms, meticulously defined by delicate silver walls that cradle segments of light green-blue turquoise.

The pale, serene hue of the turquoise provides a sophisticated contrast to the gleaming sterling silver, creating a harmonious and timeless celestial design. The necklace features a graceful, alternating long and short link chain, designed to drape elegantly, while the coordinating earrings perfectly echo the crescent pendant's refined structure.

This ensemble moves beyond simple adornment, offering a sophisticated and versatile statement piece. The earrings are expertly finished for pierced ears, completing a truly elegant and collectible set.
