These gorgeous inlaid cardinal earrings were created by Sammy & Esther Guardian, one of the best Zuni husband and wife teams working today. The Guardians have been making beautiful inlaid jewelry for years and they are especially well-known for their inlaid birds and other animals. Of all the Zuni artists who make these type of earrings, I think the Guardians' work is the best!
The earrings features beautifully inlaid cardinal and flowers - abalone, turquoise, coral and other semi-precious stones & shells. The birds are slightly etched to give the illusion of feathers.
The earrings measure 3/4 inch wide and the post is located in the top part of the back of the earring. Each sturdy earring weighs about 2.8 grams.
Brand new and in perfect condition. Please ignore the reflections that can be seen in the highly polished silver. Gift box and Certificate of Authenticity included with your purchase.
