A stunning Zuni made Bolo Tie, designed as an intricate "Sunface" clip, beautifully inlaid with a selection of natural stones, an elegant piece that reflects traditional and symbolic Zuni design.

Crafted with Channel Inlay, a variation of Mosaic Inlay, the artisan creates soldered silver compartments within the base piece, then individually cuts each stone to fit perfectly within these compartments, the integrity of the stones and the aesthetic of the design is strengthened by this technique.

The Stones & Their Properties;

Turquoise to the geologist is hydrated copper and aluminium phosphate. To The Navajo, turquoise is a piece of the sky that has fallen to earth. However you may view turquoise, in all its varied hues and textures, it is certainly one of the most beautiful of all the semiprecious stones. Spiritually, turquoise is considered a stone of wholeness, promoting a sense of unity of the self and a oneness with all that surrounds us. It is thought to make one feel at home in both the physical and spiritual worlds.

Jet is a form of fossilized wood; known for its protection and stability this stone corresponds to the root chakra.

Corals are known to be very soothing and very protective; coral is of an organic origin and is the skeletal remains of marine animals called coral polyps. Colonies of these tiny creatures build branching structures as they grow, gradually forming reefs and atolls.
