I\'m offering for your consideration a wonderful very old cluster bracelet and ring set, with vibrant, rich colored, turquoise variegated in coloration due to greening with age. The colors are fabulous and the work is unusual. The foundation of the bracelet consists of four carinated wires, hand constructed and the center medallion is 3\" in width. There is hand chiseled work both in the center and at the side panels, and also flattened twisted wires and tiny raindrops are positioned between each stone. The hand cut and buffed stones are all hand set with finely serrated bezels.All the many stones are an elongated oval shape and three dimensional, except for one round stone, also three dimensional. I counted a total number of stones in the bracelet as 73. The bracelet is very large, as 3\" wide but suitable for a medium wrist, measuring 5-5/8\" in internal length of the silver alone with a 1-1/4\" gap, for a total of 6-7/8\". One needs a slightly larger size in a bracelet when the width is great, which is why I would say it is a medium wrist bracelet. It can be adjusted but only by an experienced jeweler so not to loosen the stones. The weight is significant at 98.9grams for the bracelet and 13.8 grams for the ring. The matching ring has the same hand constructed silver work and stones. The hand constructed band is split to three near the face for stability and the band also has substance so it can be sized without a problem using laser. It\'s currently a ring size of 7-3/4 to 8 on the ring sizer, and the face is 1.5\" by 1\". It could be Navajo or Zuni work, till the artist is identified; they are great pieces, however.

This bracelet and ring is as good as it gets for breathtaking and arresting beauty. The condition is great vintage, wearable and collectible condition with some slight expectable wear such as the few hairlines in the natural stones. There\'s really black patina between the stones which could be cleaned with a soft cloth. Keep in mind that these early pieces were made without electricity, with manual wheels and hand tools. There are expectable differences in the shape of each of the stones, which I think adds to the beauty. This is a museum worthy set, suitable for the best collections and could be a signature set, worn every day. It is for me!

I generally ship same day. First item shipping in the US costs $7.99 Priority or $5.99 First Class or $25 Overnight. You may add an additional item for three days at no additional shipping charge. Three or more items are free shipping entirely if purchased in one shopping cart basket. Tracking is included in that cost, and Signature Confirmation is included on items $825 or more, total. Your invoice will allow you to choose the shipping method.

International buyers pay actual shipping cost and are responsible for any customs fees their own countries may apply. I generally use Express International, which is tracked and insured, but can always consider Priority Mail International if that is your preference. It\'s less expensive and is tracked, but usually cannot be insured. To the UK and Canada, even First Class International can be used because it can be tracked to those countries. We can discuss it prior to purchase. I am no longer shipping to Italy and China. You can talk to me about this, especially if you are a prior customer.

Returns will be accepted for 14 days after your receipt for any reason and without question. Please let me know if you would like to return something.

When I include pages from published books in my listing it is in accordance with Fair Use Law, which permits the use of source material for discussion, education and criticism.

Attributions on many of the old pieces of Native American jewelry are sometimes a moving target. All the books have errors, so in addition to counterchecking, I have developed some expertise over the years and I do care about getting it right, so as more information comes to light I update my listings and also get in touch with my previous buyers, to inform them of any changes in attributions. I am sincerely committed to ongoing accuracy.

I am sorry to say I can no longer recommend ATADA nor buying from their members with perhaps one exception, and retract my previous endorsement of the group.

I request payment by PayPal in three days, but planned in advance of purchase, alternate payment methods and time payments can be arranged.

Everything I sell comes from my personal collection or is something that I would include in my personal collection. Most pieces are museum worthy and gallery suitable, sold to you at great pricing. I vet every item carefully for quality and condition, and offer you the best. I want you to be able to rely on me for top quality, superb items that are often unique and rare examples of old antique vintage southwest, indian, native american and fine gold and gemstones, whether you\'re starting a collection or adding to one, or want something great to wear or gift. My goal is that all my buyers are delighted, that my special pieces find the right homes.
