Superb Zuni Early Turquoise Channel Set Tiny Rectangular Turquoise 9.5 Y

  
WHAT IS GREAT ABOUT IT: I don't know who made this superb old Zuni ring, but it's from my personal collection, and it's beautiful. I have always loved it. It's very old and made from hand cut natural turquoise which has greened in a wonderful variegated manner.

The tiny rectangular stones are inset in rows, perfectly hand cut and matched in shape and size. This piece can be worn by man or woman.

It is rounded so fits the finger comfortablyl While the stones are dimensional, raised, rounded, the profile is low so the piece can be worn without worrying about it being hit. The squared and rounded solid silver is attractively designed and the whole piece is just beautiful. I've always loved it. CONDITION: Excellent vintage, wearable and collectible. Face 1/2" long x 1" wide, curved. Unsigned early Zuni, probably mid-century. Unmarked sterling silver, (usual for those early times), natural turquoise. SUMMARY: a unique stunning Zuni ring, a favorite.

It's perfect for the best of collections and can easily become your signature piece. Be sure to add me to your favorites list.

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.
