Zuni Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Snake Post Earrings Jewelry

By Effie Calavaza, Zuni, New Mexico. A signature trademark of Effie's is the snake symbol entwined around two genuine natural Sleeping Beauty Turquoise nuggets. Beautifully created and a signature work of art, a southwest tradition is of Turquoise on Sterling Silver. The earrings are 3/4" long. Signed Effie C. Zuni. You will be receiving one of the pairs in the pictures below.

This jewelry comes from one of the leading trading posts in the heart of the Indian Nation. Established over 35 years ago, the owners recently retired and liquidated $200,000 wholesale ($450,000 retail) of their inventory to Alltribes. They worked with some of the best Navajo and Zuni jewelers and kept to the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. This jewelry features unique designs and quality stones. It was made before the price of silver went up and will have lower prices.

The serpent deities are symbols of abundant rainfall to some tribes and some use the serpent as a totem for healing stomach and kidney ailments, while some tribes believed that to ensure success on the battlefield and in the hunt they would cover their arrows with rattlesnake skins to give their weapons the ability to strike with snakelike swiftness.

Calavaza - Cadillac Jewelry of Zuni. The crafting of Zuni Indian jewelry is an art which demands expertise, patience and exactness. The channel inlay and snake design work of Effie Calavaza is among the best known of all Zuni jewelry. For nearly a half century, Effie has been perfecting her jewelry making technique. Together with her three daughters (Georgiana, Gloria Jean and Susie) and son Randy, Effie creates pieces of jewelry widely acclaimed for its exactness of detail. All of the pieces crafted by the Calavaza family are stamped in the same manner: Effie C. Zuni. This is your assurance that the jewelry you are purchasing has been crafted in an expert fashion, using only the finest materials available. Most of the pieces produced by the Calavaza family - bolos, buckles, watch bracelets, pinky rings - are made using the traditional sand-cast technique.

We understand the true value and nature of hand crafted Indian art. And, we recognize that it is important to know that the artist is truly a member of a Native American tribe. So, to ensure you that this is the real deal, a Certificate of Authenticity has been included with this item.
