    The 8 Kingman Mine Zuni Turquoise Cuff Bracelet
    This wonderful Sterling Silver and Kingman Mine Bracelet was made by a talented Zuni artist many decades ago. It is not stamped with a hallmark. As you probably know, much of the Native jewelry made prior to about 1970 was not signed. It is guaranteed to be Sterling Silver and authentic. It is, as they say "primitive". I have found no obvious defects like a broken or loose stone, scratches, etc. in the Bracelet. Try the "Zoom" function, and take a good look at the fantastic natural Kingman Turquoise Stones. They have natural inclusions and internal imperfections that most collectors find desirable. They are secure and tight in their bezels. The depth of color hand formed shapes of each stone is captivating. The Sterling Silver has a Heavy tarnish on the inside of the Bracelet and heavy on the outside in the area around the 14 water drops and the 8 Turquoise. I believe that you will be pleased!
    This primitive old Zuni Bracelet is full of character. With 8 Kingman Mine stones with dramatic color, matrix, and  luster, it will be admired by many people. When you take a look at the pictures, please inspect the bracelet carefully for the evidence of age in both design and execution. Your friends
    may compliment you and your taste in Navajo Turquoise Jewelry.
    Thanks!
