PICS DON’T DO THIS ONE JUSTICE! And VERY BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE. ALL HANDMADE Unsigned ZUNI STURDY & STRONG DOUBLE ROW BENCH. SILVER BEADS & Inlaid Peacock SQUASH BLOSSOM NECKLACE BLACK ONYX, BLUE TURQUOISE, CORAL, GREEN STONES, MOTHER OF PEARL, ABALONE and OTHER SHELLS. The craftsmanship is IMPECCABLE and like none other that I have ever seen. This wonderful necklace came from the estate of a woman who had the nicest jewelry collection. It had a special display-place in her collection where I understand she could look at it often. It was well-enjoyed and I have enjoyed it very much too. I have not worn it other than to try it on and find out just how comfortable it is to wear – very comfortable. It hangs very nicely. It looks wonderful worn or hung on the wall as important art just to admire its amazing beauty. Really well-made and dramatic. SPECIFICS Will fill in specs when I get back in a few hours…. 24 1/2 inches long side to side from the inside not including the naja which is appr. 3 1/8 inches tall X apr. 2 3/8 inches widest part. The bench beads are appr. 8 mm (side to side) wide. The necklace is rather heavy – hard to fit it all on my little scale but will try soon. Please note that it is in EXCELLENT VINTAGE CONDITION This is such a GORGEOUS CREATION. Really EXCELLENT ONE OF A KIND CRAFTSMANSHIP. The necklace is very SOLID-MADE. This beauty is fresh out storage. Someone very talented from the ZUNI NATION spent a whole lot of time and patience on this one. I cannot say enough good about it. I have recently been unpacking many wonderful silver and gem jewelry items that have been stored for over 4 decades. This is an INCREDIBLE WORK of WEARABLE HISTORICAL ART that really does illustrate the FINE SKILLS of an AMAZING ZUNI SILVERSMITH. The WORKMANSHIP INVOLVED in making these AMAZING. SILVER BEADS with the different PEACOCK. SQUASH BLOSSOMS is just PHENOMENAL. There is so much ATTENTION to the TINY DETAILS of CREATING and silver-soldering the two sculpted silver halves of the beads together by one VERY-SKILLED ZUNI SILVERSMITH. I look at the beads and blossoms in AMAZEMENT. LOTS of TIME, PATIENCE and SKILL has been spent on each bead and blossom. I think this necklace is EXCELLENT QUALITY. It has a heavy time-kissed patina. The necklace is strung on Strong Silver Chain Link. The beads have a GORGEOUS SILKY FINISH to them and might benefit from a light polishing. The whole necklace has a wonderful SILKY SMOOTH FINISH to it. In my humble opinion, it is one of the FINEST SQUASH BLOSSOM masterpiece necklaces that I have ever come across. It is MUSEUM QUALITY This TIMELESS HISTORICAL BEAUTY would make a GREAT GIFT for ANYONE! F R E E S H I P P I N G I N T H E U. THANKS VERY MUCH FOR VISITING :!
