Beautiful Zuni "Desert Rose" sterling silver jewelry collection featuring finely crafted mosaic inlay of mother-of-pearl and natural turquoise. The centerpiece is a signed and dated 1995 necklace by renowned Zuni silversmith Sonny Wallace, showcasing the intricate channel and mosaic inlay work for which his family is known. The pendant is suspended from a 925 Italy sterling silver chain. Also included is a coordinating ring, which appears unsigned, and a pair of matching earrings marked "AW," believed to have been crafted by a member of the Wallace family of Zuni silversmiths. The collection has a total weight of approximately 23 grams. Sonny Wallace is a respected Zuni jewelry artist celebrated for his exceptional precision in mosaic and channel inlay using natural gemstones. His work, along with that of the Wallace family, is highly regarded among collectors of Native American jewelry for its detailed craftsmanship, colorful stone combinations, and traditional Zuni artistry. A beautiful and collectible Southwestern jewelry collection, ideal for both wear and display. Pendant also doubles as a brooch. Please see photos for signatures, date, measurements, and overall condition.
