Zuni Turquoise Earring Inlay Repair
If you’ve seen my other inlay jewelry repairs, you know that I have completed a lot of really complex stone inlays, but not all of my repairs are like that!
Case in point: this Zuni turquoise earring where one of the stones fell out.
The hardest part about an inlay repair like this is matching the turquoise well, but I happened to have a piece of Kingman turquoise that matched the existing pieces of turquoise very well that it would be an unnoticeable repair.
I carefully cut the piece of turquoise before re-setting it into the inlay channel.
(Pictured is an in-progress shot of the inlay earring repair. You can see the stone sticking out from the surface at this stage but it will soon be fixed up.)
Afterwards, I can cut and polish the surface flush with the other stones before the inlay earring repair is complete.
