Old Pawn Multi Gemstone Inlaid Silver Mens Watch

This Old Pawn Multi Gemstone Inlaid Silver Mens Watch was handmade by Pueblo smiths, Wayne and Virginia Quam. Featuring a colorful stone to stone pattern, the hand cut tiles of genuine Turquoise, Spiny Oyster, Mother of Pearl, Gold Lip and Jet are skillfully fitted together in this amazing hand-worked puzzle! Set in a deeply, hammered Sterling frame, it comes with the original, working solar-powered Casio dial, and we can custom size the new flex band for 6-1/2" to 8-1/2" wrists. In very nice, used condition with original patina, it's stamped Sterling and hallmarked. Effortless Southwest style is yours in a truly unique accessory, this Old Pawn Multi Gemstone Inlaid Silver Mens Watch is collectible and wearable, Native American jewelry that is also a piece of Southwest history!

NOTE: This comes with the original patina, but can be buffed to a new high shine, making it non-returnable.

Wayne (1942-2006) and his wife Virginia (1940-  ) were born in Zuni, NM and started making jewelry in the 1960's. He learned from his mother, Alice Quam. They were/are award winning smiths and lapidarists and their jewelry is highly collectible. They are referenced in Schaaf's "American Indian Jewelry I and III", Hougart's "Native American and Southwestern Silver Hallmarks", Wright's "Hallmarks of the Southwest" and Bassman's "Zuni Jewelry".

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 wear.
