    Old Zuni Row Bracelet
    This wonderful Bracelet was made by the Zuni artist couple Paylee and Darlene Coonsis perhaps a half a century ago. It was hallmark signed on the reverse. It is not stamped "Sterling" but it is guaranteed to be Sterling Silver and authentic. I have found no defects.There are no serious or obvious defects like cracked or loose stones, noticeable scratches, etc. There is dark overall warm tarnish...I believe you will be pleased with this classic example of the Zuni craft. It is also a very comfortable bracelet to wear
    !
    This wonderful old Bracelet has charm and a sublime spirit. When you take a look at the pictures, please inspect the magnified pictures. It contains 8 round topped Kingman Mine Turquoise that are expertly set in a very pleasing design. This Bracelet is quite interesting as they are all mounted at a slight angle. Your friends
    may compliment you and your taste in Zuni Jewelry.
    Thanks!
