Zuni Snake Eye Bracelet with Turquoise & Sterling Silver

Zuni snake eye work at its most patient: row upon row of tiny round turquoise cabochons, each one hand-set in its own scalloped silver cup. The rectangular panels are joined by twisted-wire sterling silver bars, so the bracelet drapes and moves almost like fabric on the wrist. It closes with a wide, plain silver clasp plate that balances all that detail.
