Colin Coonsis Inlay Jewelry 

Colin Coonis is a rising star in the sky of Native American jewelry artists. He has recently been featured in Native People's Magazine. Son of Rolanda Haloo, famed Zuni inlay artist, Colin learned the art of inlay at a young age.

He now is known for his edgy and contemporary pieces and is featured at Santa Fe galleries, at the Santa Fe Indian Market and at the Heard Indian Market.

Colin's major works are in museums such as the Eiteljorg in Indianapolis, Indiana and are worn by reality TV star, Dina Eastwood, of Carmel Valley, California.

I am pleased to offer select one-of-a-kind pieces by Colin Coonsis.

Amazing Sterling Cuff
By Rolanda Haloo
in Colaboration with
her son, Colin Coonsis

You might wonder why this cuff bracelet coordinates so well with Colin's mother of pearl and opal work. He had a hand in some of the making of this unique piece.

Rolanda Haloo, Colin's mother is a master Zuni inlay artist. He learned the art from her.

In this bracelet Rolanda has taken a red orange Mexican opal, surrounded it by beautiful lab made opal and then bezel set it. Next to that are two mother of pearl and pen shell stations.

The sterling silver is heavy gauge and weighs 44.5 grams on my scales.

This beautiful piece will fit a small wrist loosely and a medium wrist more snugly. It measures 5.5 inch inside with a 1.25 inch opening for a total of 6 and 3/4 inches around.

The bracelet is hallmarked RH Sterling Zuni NM

Price: $300.00
