Sheldon Lalio's high quality sterling silver, turquoise, red coral, iridescent mother-of-pearl and jet hoop earrings are created in the channel inlay technique. This particular style of jewelry requires precise cutting and fitting of each individual stone, shell or coral to fit exactly within the silver channels. This meticulous process requires great skill and a keen eye to avoid any gaps between the materials and the metalwork. These colorful and lightweight earrings for pierced ears are about 1 1/8" long and 3/16" wide. Signed by the artist. A quick click here will take you to nice write up on exquisite Zuni jewelry.
