  • Condition: Because of the high quality of the Blue Gem Turquoise, I went to the trouble and expense of having this fine Bracelet rebuilt. The Sterling Silver now looks almost new. There are 3 hairline cracks as you will see in the magnified photographs. No noticeable scratches, scrapes, dents, dings, chips, missing or loose stones, etc. No significant tarnish after my jewelry gave it a tune up. I believe that this one will please you. Please see the many magnified photos and the description. I thank you!

    Blue Gem Zuni Bracelet
    This wonderful Blue Gem Bracelet was made a talented Zuni artist several decades ago. It has recently been given a fresh life by my jeweler. I wish he could make me look good again! It is not Hallmarked, nor would it be, as I believe that this dates from the 1950's or 60's. It is
    guaranteed to be Sterling Silver and authentic. There are no defects in the Sterling Silver like noticeable scratches, etc. Please see the condition report about the Turquoise. The condition is reflected in the price of the offering. There is almost no tarnish...I believe you will be pleased,
    It glows in the daylight!
    This amazing Bracelet has a sublime spirit. When you take a look at the pictures, please inspect the magnified pictures. As a BONUS, you will also receive a wonderful Large Navajo Turquoise Pin to wear with your Bracelet. Your friends
    may compliment you and your taste in Zuni Jewelry.
    Thanks!
    Shipping anywhere in the USA is included, insurance is also included, of course...
