Buy A Zuni Ring Online - Zuni Handcrafted Rings

A handmade Zuni ring is one of the most treasured and stunning rings that you will ever own. They are handcrafted by Zuni native Americans from the southwest - New Mexico.

Beginning in the 1920s the Southwestern Indians developed an artistic excellence in designing and crafting jewelry with silver. Turquoise and shell were the main materials incorporated into the sterling silver jewelry. Shells such as mother of pearl, abalone, conch and oyster were beautifully added to create gorgeous and unique handcrafted jewelry.

Even today, most of the Zuni jewelry, rings, bracelets and pendants are created with silver, turquoise and shell. Black onyx, coral and opals are also commonly seen in Zuni rings and other jewelry. The designs of the jewelry have changed somewhat over the years and have become even more intricate.

The Zuni American Indians mostly use the inlay style of jewelry making - incorporating gemstones into their silver designs. The skills and techniques of this style of jewelry making are passed down from generation to generation.

There is always something special about a handcrafted piece of jewelry.  Just knowing that someone created it with their own hands makes it a work of art.  The thought and craftsmanship that goes into making jewelry is amazing.  

Just by looking at a Zuni ring you can tell that it was handcrafted by an expert jewelry maker.  The intricate designs and the beautiful patterns are recognizable as Southwestern Indian jewelry.  

For all of the work that goes into making a Zuni ring you would think that they would be very highly priced.  For the most part, you will find that they are very reasonably priced.  

When you consider the time and thought that goes into creating a Zuni ring,  they are worth much more than a factory made ring.
