Very Early Zuni Pueblo Deco Set Necklace Earrings Plus Ring Channel Inlay

  
I'm offering one of my favorite very old Zuni sets which came from a private collection and was bought in Zuni in mid-Century; it includes two matching pieces plus a similar ring that works so well with the set I'm including it. Each was made in the spirit of the Pueblo Deco style. Wallace era, there are at least three items in the CG Wallace catalog that are similar. One a bracelet by Dan Simplicio and two squash necklaces by Dishta. The style of work is described in the Druckman Collection catalog as Pueblo Deco, which is always a simple geometric design using only the two colors.

The set is one of the most favorite sets I have owned. The necklace measures 16-1/2" end to end" and the central pendant is 1-1/8" in diameter, with the side rounds being 15/16" in diameter and the side panels 1-1/8" long and 1/2" wide.

The chain is all hand made. The weight of the necklace is 29.62grams.

The earrings came with the necklace and were converted to posts. Their diameter is 9/16 and their weight is each under 2.5grams, so they are easy on the ears.

There is a pin on my neck in pictures of me wearing the set but that pin is not included with the offering. What is included is a ring that is a great match and which I wear with the set. It is size 8, and the face measures 1-1/4" x 5/8".

If you don't want the ring I will charge less for the set. I have three bracelets that work with this set.

One is listed separately and in that listing are pics of the three bracelets which work well with this set. I included a picture of one of the bracelets above and it is not included with this listing; but as mentioned, it's listed separately. The condition of each piece is good, wearable, collectible. It shows moderate wear for its age.

This is an arresting set, very lovely and a delight to wear. Be sure to add me to your favorites list. Take a look at my store. Yes, I sometimes can take reasonable offers.

It's less expensive and is also tracked. First Class International is no longer offered by the US Postal Service. I care that you're happy and about my accuracy, and will always stand behind my work.

My attributions are guaranteed for my lifetime. When I include pages from published books in my listings it is in accordance with Fair Use Law, which permits the use of source material for discussion, reference, education and criticism.

Attributions on many of the old pieces of Native American jewelry are sometimes a moving target. 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.

Everything I sell comes from my personal collection or is something that I would include in my personal collection. I vet every item carefully for quality and condition, and offer you the best. I want you to be able to rely on me for top quality, superb items that are often unique and rare examples of old antique vintage southwest, indian, native american and fine gold and gemstones, whether you're starting a collection or adding to one, or want something great to wear or gift. My goal is that all my buyers are delighted, that my special pieces find the right homes.
