Bolo, Inlay, Raised, Thunderbird, Artisan, Hallmark, Contemporary, 1434

 A BOLD BOLO CAN ADD A LOT TO AN OUTFIT. 

This chic contemporary creation by Zuni artisan Beverly Estate is a stunning example of expert inlay, depicting a traditional thunderbird image crafted from turquoise, mother of pearl, and orange spiny oyster against a black onyx backdrop with tiny turquoise dot details. The slide is framed with sleek sterling silver featuring drops and tiny twist wire accents. The cord is a traditional braided leather tipped with sterling silver aiguillettes.
