Vintage Zuni Turquoise Silver Snake Watch

This Vintage Zuni Turquoise Silver Snake Watch is made by Effie Calavaza. Known world wide, her handmade jewelry is highly collectible! Using Turquoise nuggets and Sterling, she added her copyrighted snake, with inlaid eyes, to slither around the handmade bezels. It comes with a complimentary timepiece, and we can custom size this for ladies wrists from 5-1/2" to 8". Refurbished in our Native American jewelry shop, it's hallmarked and ready to wear! Exceptional jewelry by any standard, this Vintage Zuni Turquoise Silver Snake Watch honors the spirit and legacy of the humble silversmith, simply known as Effie C!

Effie (1928-2019) was born in Zuni, NM and started making jewelry with her husband, Juan in the 1950's. She is referenced in Schaaf's "American Indian Jewelry I & II", Wright's "Hallmarks of the Southwest", Bells "ZUNI: The Art & The People Vol II" & Bassman's "Zuni Jewelry" just to name a few!

To order your correct size: you must measure the circumference of your wrist. You can use a cloth tape measure, a ¼” strip of paper or a cord to wrap around your wrist and mark it. Lay it out flat and measure the length against a ruler, that’s your exact circumference and the size you should order.
