Stunning vintage Zuni sterling silver and Mediterranean red coral inlay hoop earrings. The Zuni are well known for their skillful inlay work and this pair of earrings showcases their talent. The coral was cut with such precision that the inlay fits perfectly in the sterling silver setting and it remains secure. Precious red coral represents wealth, success, and status for many Native Americans, while for others it represents blood, war strength,and lightning. The coral is natural with no dye or treatment. It's amazing to look at the coral and see evidence of the animals that created it and the sea it came from. These features and imperfections are evidence that you have genuine Mediterranian red coral. The Zuni received coral from European traders that had a steady supply of it from the Mediterranean. Coral such as this has become scarce due to historical overfishing and the resultant harvest limits. The earrings are in good vintage condition with normal wear. Zuni sterling silver red coral hoop earrings.
