White Buffalo Inlay Half Hoop Earrings by Tammie Johnson, Zuni

Tammie Johnson, a Zuni silversmith, created these White Buffalo inlay half hoop earrings in sterling silver. White Buffalo is a white magnesite matrix material from Nevada with distinctive black matrix patterns. The half hoop format — a curved form that hangs from the ear and curves gently beneath the lobe — is a classic earring shape in both Navajo and Zuni jewelry traditions. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
