Vintage Zuni sterling silver bracelet watch band. It is set with 54 mint green turquoise stones. Interior measures 5 1/2" plus the opening of 1 3/8". Reinforced at the terminal with bars. 2 3/8" wide at center front.?
Hallmarked with a conjoined NT or N with a cross. Scratched in date is 10-10-78 and is signed, I think,? Dossie Yazzie Gishle.
I purchased this with a vintage watch in place. When I got it home and closely inspected it, the watch was glued in place. You can see some of the glue still present.? The metal plates were present, but twisted and glued into place as they were broken off. Could not be saved. I paid much more than I am asking for it here. I got stung. I hope that someone can restore this or repurpose this beautiful piece. If not damaged, I would have asked $1200 for this piece.?
It is not my style to leave the glue and watch and pass it on to someone else. The mint turquoise is my favorite.?
Weight: 76.8 grams.?
