Sterling Silver Mother of Pearl, Kingman Turquoise & Coral Bracelet - Size 7 #147

Discover this exceptional Native American Bracelet, handcrafted by Zuni Pueblo artisans, meticulously crafted in Sterling Silver. This remarkable piece showcases genuine Mother of Pearl, beautifully complemented by Kingman Turquoise and Coral. The Mother of Pearl featured in this piece carries a rich heritage — The iridescent inner lining of mollusk shells, sourced from oceans worldwide. Native American artists, particularly from Zuni Pueblo, have long incorporated this luminous material into intricate inlay designs. Complementing the design, the Kingman Turquoise adds its own story — From the Kingman mine in northwestern Arizona, one of the oldest and largest turquoise mines in North America. Operating since the 1880s, it produces classic blue turquoise with distinctive white and black matrix. Rounding out this composition, the Coral brings additional character — Harvested from the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea and Pacific Ocean, red coral has been treasured for centuries. Native American artists have incorporated coral into jewelry since ancient trade routes brought it to the Southwest. Available in size 7. Nestled in the high desert of western New Mexico, Zuni Pueblo has been home to master lapidaries for generations. Zuni artists are world-renowned for their intricate inlay work, petit point, and needlepoint techniques using turquoise, coral, and shell. This piece bears the signature of artist R.B, a mark of authenticity and personal craftsmanship. Every piece at Humiovi is one-of-a-kind — once sold, it can never be replicated. Ships from our gallery in Sedona, Arizona.

Materials

Sterling Silver

Cared for thoughtfully, a handcrafted piece is meant to last generations. A few essentials for this one:

• Turquoise

  A soft, porous stone — keep it dry and away from perfume, lotion, and household chemicals so its color stays true.

• Sterling silver

  Buff with a soft polishing cloth — leaving intentional oxidation intact — and store airtight to slow tarnish.

• Last on, first off

  Put your piece on after fragrance, lotion, and hairspray — and take it off before water, sleep, and sport.

• Store with care

  Keep each piece in its own soft pouch, away from direct sun and damp, so softer stones never meet harder ones.
