Vintage Mid Century Zuni Turquoise Bracelet
Vintage Mid Century Zuni Turquoise Bracelet
This marvelous mid-century Zuni bracelet is unlike any I've ever had before. Truly eye-dazzling, the vintage Zuni cuff is set with 48 turquoise stones. Every single one of the little circular stones has been expertly hand-shaped by the artist and then set into its own tiny silver bezel. Wow!
Look closely, and you'll see the distinctive hand carvings on each piece of turquoise. Creating this bracelet was a tremendous amount of work, friends, and there's so much character here! Over the years, the turquoise has become slightly variegated in color so there's a richness and depth.Â
If you'd like, go ahead and do a little Google search. Try and find another bracelet just like this one. You probably won't find another, but your search will show you the depth of creative expression in Zuni jewelry. It'll be time well spent.
If you'd like to add this rare, one-of-a-kind beauty to your own collection, it measures 5 5/8" inside plus 1 1/8" opening. The width is 1 3/4".
