Vtg Zuni Native American Modernist Sterling Petit Needle Point Necklace Earrings
An absolutely gorgeous vintage Native American sterling silver and Charoite stone fringe necklace and earrings. This unique piece of wearable art was entirely hand crafted by a master and was most likely made some time in the 1970's. It is unfortunately unsigned and unmarked. It takes the form of a highly textured collar with three articulated panels forming a fixed fringe like crescent that is elaborately ornamented with bezel set raised Charoite stones.
The earrings echo the same design and dangle freely from sterling ear wires! Necklace Dimensions: 17 3/4" long x 1 3/8" wide. Earrings Dimensions: 1 5/8" long x approximately 5/8" wide. Combined Weight: 21.5 grams. Condition: Beautiful vintage condition with no damage noted.
