Product Details

This fabulous vintage sterling silver Zuni-made naja station necklace is a stunning example of classic Southwestern artistry and traditional Zuni inlay craftsmanship. The necklace features ten beautifully detailed stations, each showcasing the iconic sunface with headdress motif, with a matching sunface adorning the top center of the impressive naja pendant. The naja is further embellished with traditional raindrops and twist wire, adding texture and dimension to the design. Intricate inlay of jet, mother of pearl, turquoise, and coral brings vibrant color and timeless appeal to every sunface. Eight millimeter handmade sterling silver beads, foxtail stringing, and a handcrafted hook and eye closure complete this exceptional piece. Though unhallmarked, this is common for Native American jewelry of this era. This substantial necklace is a beautiful collectible that embodies the artistry and symbolism of mid-century Zuni jewelry.
