Product Details

Seven slim turquoise stones march across this sterling band like a parade of southwestern sky. Classic Zuni needle-point work from Gloria Acque, whose hallmark runs along the inside. The sawtooth bezels are precise, the silver orbs tidy, and the turquoise ranges from robin's-egg to deeper teal. Details: • Maker: Gloria Acque, Zuni • Solid sterling silver (marked G.
