DESCRIPTION:

This elegant sterling silver necklace and earring set features intricately hand-crafted cluster designs, each accented with vibrant red coral stones. The natural red coral adds a bold yet earthy tone, prized for its deep red hue and traditional use in Zuni jewelry. The necklace is made and stamped by Zuni Artist T. Batie adorned with fan-shaped segments that gracefully taper to a central floral cluster with silver dangles, while the matching earrings echo the same graceful form. Lightweight yet detailed, the set combines classic Navajo-inspired symmetry with natural gemstone warmth. 

Corals are known to be very soothing and very protective. Coral is of an organic origin; it is the skeletal remains of marine animals called Coral Polyps. Colonies of these tiny creatures build branching structures as they grow, gradually forming reefs and atolls.
