    Description

    THIS IS A CLASSIC OLD PAWN ZUNI KNIFEWING BRACELET OBVIOUSLY DONE BY A MASTER ARTISAN.
    THE INTRICATELY FLUSH  CUT AND INLAID STONES CONSIST OF TURQUOISE WHICH APPEARS TO BE BLUE GEM,JET, MOP, AND CORAL.
    THEY ARE SECURELY SET IN SERRATED SETTINGS.
    THERE IS DECORATIVE SILVER WIRE WORK AS WELL AS 22 TINY SILVER BALLS ENHANCING THE DESIGN.
    ON EITHER SIDE OF THE KNIFEWING THERE ARE IMPRESSIVE SILVER REPOUSSE LOZENGES.
    THE BRACELET IS CONSTRUCTED WITH THREE PARALLEL SILVER SHANKS OR BANDS TO WHICH THE KNIFEWING IS SOLDERED SECURELY.
    THEY GENTLY TAPER TO MEET AT THE TERMINALS.
    THE BRACELET IN THE CENTER MEASURES ABOUT 2 INCHES IN HEIGHT.
    IT WEIGHS 1.1 OUNCES OR 32 GRAMS
    THE INSIDE MEASUREMENT IS ABOUT 5-3/8  INCHES FROM END TO END AND THE GAP OR OPENING BETWEEN THE ENDS  IS  ABOUT ONE INCH.
    THE BRACELET  HAS A SLIGHTLY HEAVIER GAUGE SILVER THAN THE TYPICAL TOURIST PIECES SO IT  IS NOT  POSSIBLE TO EXPAND IT. IN FACT THIS HAS BEEN RELISTED SINCE THE ORIGINAL BUYER SAID IT WAS TOO SMALL.
    THE UNPOLISHED SILVER HAS A GREAT PATINA WHICH INDICATES EVIDENCE OF THE BRACELET'S  AGE AND USE.
    IT IS UNMARKED AS WAS TYPICAL OF THE OLDER NATIVE AMERICAN JEWELRY BUT TESTS AS STERLING
    I HAVE ENJOYED COLLECTING  NATIVE AMERICAN AND TAXCO SILVER JEWELRY FOR OVER FORTY YEARS BUT AM NOW DOWNSIZING AND SELLING MANY OF MY PRIZED FINDS.
    THIS WAS PURCHASED AT THE JEWEL BOX  PAWN SHOP IN DOWNTOWN PHOENIX IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES AND HAS BEEN STORED WITH MY COLLECTION.
    THE OWNER MAURY RESNICK BOUGHT A CONSIDERABLE NUMBER OF PIECES FROM THE C.G.WALLACE COLLECTION AND WAS KNOWN FOR HIS EXCEPTIONAL COLLECTION OF JEWELRY.
    THE BRACELET IS IN FINE UNPOLISHED CONDITION WITH SUBTLE INDICATIONS FROM AGE AND USE  TO BE EXPECTED.
    IT IS A QUALITY NATIVE AMERICAN WORK OF WEARABLE ART AND WOULD BE AN EXCEPTIONAL ADDITION TO ANY NATIVE AMERICAN JEWELRY COLLECTION.
    USPS SHIPPING  IN THE CONTINENTAL USA WITH TRACKING AND REQUIRED SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION UPON RECEIPT  IS FREE.
    PLEASE CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS AS THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING.
    PAYMENT IS DUE AND EXPECTED WITHIN 2 DAYS  OF THE WINNING BID.
    THANKS FOR LOOKING!
