Hello, this is Muranaka from Wanderer WEB staff.
Zuni Indian jewelry in the shape of cute DISNEY and PENUTS characters has recently arrived!
It's brightly colored and cute, and if you're an American casual fan, you'll want to own one.
There are many particularly cute items among Indian jewelry, and many people are falling in love with them...
I myself am one of the fans.
We will introduce the techniques and recommended items of Zuni Indian jewelry.
“American casual ≒ Indian jewelry?”
I don't know who proposed it, but in the 1980s, when American casual style and Shibu casual style were popular, young people at the time were all wearing Indian jewelry such as GORO'S.
The use of real silver, turquoise, shell, etc. gives it a solid feel, and the more it is used, the more bitter it gets, so perhaps the secret to its long-standing popularity is that it is easy to blend in with vintage items. .
A transcendental inlay technique representing the Zuni people
Indian jewelry is still very popular today, but the techniques passed down by each tribe are different, and each artist has their own individuality.
There is a technique called ``zogan'' in Japanese and ``inlay'' in English. Elephant means ``to shape'' and 錵 means ``to fit into,'' and in Indian jewelry, stones such as turquoise or other materials are inserted into frames made of silver or shells.
This inlay technique is a very delicate technique that has been passed down to the Zuni people, who are said to be very patient.
ZUNI DISNEY RING (DONALD DUCK)
(Click to link to product details page)
This is Donald Duck made by Don Dewa, which we carry in our store. The clear white hue of the shell contrasts with the bright light blue of turquoise and the strong black of onyx.
The size of each eye is slightly different, which is cute as it looks like it was made by hand.
A technique called channel inlay is used, in which the cut material is inserted into a silver frame, and the precision is mind-boggling.
The back of the ring is engraved with Don Dewa's own signature signature.
Perfect for a hustle
Try adding a character ring to a simple military style, or try adding a Charlie Brown bangle to your clean fashion...
Character accessories are perfect for hustle.
In particular, many of the Zuni character Indian jewelry are brightly colored and are easy to match with a variety of outfits.
In particular, this item, which appears as a Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse necklace, is actually a brooch, and is a convenient item that can be used depending on your mood and outfit.

ZUNI DISNEY (MICKY MOUSE)ANDREA LONJOSE
This work is by Zuni artist Andrea Ronjosé.
The texture is also different from Don Dewa, and it has a more delicate design that is good at creating fine lines.
Of course, you can wear Mickey and Minnie separately, but we also highly recommend wearing them as a brooch or necklace.

This season, both innerwear and outerwear tend to be dark in color, so it would be fun to wear them on a simple turtleneck or attach multiple pieces to the collar of a coat for a lively decoration.
Whether you have never picked it up or already own it, please enjoy coordinating your outfits with playful Indian jewelry.
