Symbolic Corn Maize Zuni Jewelry

Posted by Four Corners USA OnLine on 18th Nov 2014

Multi Color Corn Sterling Silver 20 Inch Necklace Earring Jewelry Set exquisitely hand crafted by Native American Zuni Artisans Tracy and Eugene Bowekaty. Just beautiful with Necklace consisting of Corn in clear blue Turquoise, Purple Spiny Oyster Shell, Orange Spiny Oyster Shell, Red Spiny Oyster Shell, White, Pink and Yellow Mother of Pearl all etched to represent kernels and delicately inlaid with variant hand cut Coral, Malachite, Jet, Turquoise and Lapis representing the various colors of Maize often referred to as Indian Corn by Anglos.

I personally enjoy this piece on many levels including Artistic Folk Art, Cultural Symbolism and Colorful Spirit. Although a wonderful addition to any collection, I also think this Set would be a wonderful gift for a Bride. Maize is a symbol of substance.

Here are some wonderful Post and Dangle Earrings as well.
