Please Tell Me About this Beautiful Inlay Necklace and Earrings

I purchased this necklace and earring set at the gift shop at Bandelier National Monument about 10 years ago. Is the artist possibly Annabelle Peterson? Any idea of age?

Beautiful.
You could also look at designs by Antoinette Platero, as she had an AP, too.

@Willie_Joe That’s a very, very pretty turquoise necklace & earring set. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a round bead inlaid with turquoise. Beautiful.

I looked up the other artist, but I think this looks closer to work by Annabelle Peterson, but I cannot find anything with round beads.

Thank you. I receive a lot of compliments when I wear it. I cannot find any other round beads either.

That’s absolutely gorgeous! We were at Bandelier National Monument years ago, and I remember seeing some beautiful things in the gift shop.

@Steve A round of applause for you! Now, @Willie_Joe knows the name of the Zuni artist who created the necklace. Always good when a hallmark is identified.
