This pair of coral earrings is signed with the dual first names Bill and Lou, and identified as from Zuni Pueblo. Without a last name as a guide, it has not been possible to identify the couple by name. They are obviously very talented lapidary artisans as well as accomplished silversmiths.

The ear post is fitted for pierced ears, and has a deep red coral gemstone mounted in a silver bezel. The dangle is fan shaped and has four corals mounted in silver bezels. This is a delicate pair of earrings.


Condition: very good condition

Provenance: this Zuni Pueblo Fan Shape Coral Earrings is from a private collection
