Three Zuni Multi-stone Inlay Necklaces. Largest pendant 1''W x 7/8''W. Longest chain is 16''. Zuni artists have been perfecting the art of inlay for decades. Inlay involves precisely cutting stones to fit together, typically in a mosaic pattern and requires great precision of cutting and design to avoid gaps. The best channel inlay is also very precise, with the stone exactly matching the border of the silver with no filler. The traditional stones are black jet,red coral, white mother of pearl,and blue turquoise.
