SPECIFICS:

ARTIST: Unknown

CIRCA MADE: 1940 (Give or take-Could be Earlier?)

STONE: Natural Turquoise-Most all cuts have maintained their blue color after all these years, which tells me this is a ‘harder’ grade, which equates to ‘quality’. Out of all the stones, there’s about 9 that have deepened to green, This color change not only tells you the turquoise is natural, but is what gives Zuni vintage cluster work it’s gorgeous vintage aesthetic that we love!

Finally, I do not know what kind of household habits any previous owner had, etc.

Come Gift Boxed
