The original ower was given this set as a gift from a client
in the early 1970's.
She never wore it. It has always been stored in a cloth bag.
This vintage Zuni necklace is hand-set with rows of
sky-blue turquoise (most likely Sleeping Beauty or Kingman)
needlepoint stones in sterling silver.
Featuring fan-like clusters around the neckline, a bold circular pendant with radiant turquoise, and dangling silver tabs.
The paper clip chain is also sterling silver.
Handmade in the 1960s–80s by Zuni artisans.
This piece is
Native American &
Southwestern wearable art for generations!
