Zuni Effie Calavaza 5 Stone Turquoise Snake Cuff Bracelet Heavy 6.5" 40.9g JR754

This is a very exquisite bracelet that must not be overlooked!

The bracelet has a total of NINE stones, FIVE of which are gently set in hand cut bezels in the midst of two gorgeous silver snake designs, while the other FOUR are inlaid and create the snakes' eyes. Mini silver beads and imprinted patterns can be seen accenting the cuff for a phenomenal finish. The snake is found in many healing and fertility rituals. It is also connected with lightning, speed, and being able to move undetected. The bracelet is stamped Zuni and is hallmarked by artist. Circa 1970-1980 Weight 40.9gm It fits approx. 6.25-6.5" wrist. Inner dimension 2.5" x 1 15/16" (1 inch = 25.4 mm; 1 dime = 17.9mm). All items are pre-owned unless otherwise stated.
