Vintage Zuni Bracelet, Ring, Pendant Set by Ivan Tsethlikai

Ivan Tsethlikai began his jewelry-making career in the 1970s and became known for his inlay butterfly designs. These three pieces are excellent examples of his work. Turquoise, dark shell and coral are inlaid in a sterling butterfly, which is then mounted on a piece of gold lip mussel shell. The ring is a 6.5, and the bracelet will fit up to a 6-5/8” wrist.

All three pieces are from the 1980s and have never been worn. They were created for a private collector in New Mexico who specialized in Zuni artisans.
