Vintage Inlaid Silver Ladies Zuni Jewelry Set

This Vintage Inlaid Silver Ladies Zuni Jewelry Set glows with the iridescent beauty of Mother of Pearl and Turquoise! Hand cut, each piece is fitted into the Sterling cuff and two pendant pins. The bracelet by Orlinda Natewa is just over 3/4" wide, and will best fit a 6-1/4" wrist, and is hallmarked. Orlinda's open round 1-1/2" wide pendant with chain has Sterling, hand engraved on the back. The 2" long by 1-1/2" wide cross pendant, with chain is hand signed by the artist, but is unreadable. All are in very good, used condition. A very pretty ensemble, this Vintage Inlaid Silver Ladies Zuni Jewelry Set is one of a kind!

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.
