Vintage Zuni Apache Crown Dancer Cuff Bracelet by Panteah 1050

Vintage Zuni Apache Crown Dancer Cuff

This Vintage Zuni Apache Crown Dancer Cuff was handmade by Flo (Florentine) Panteah. It depicts an important mountain spirit, who dances for protection and healing. The pattern is created with hand cut tiles of Mother of Pearl, Turquoise, Spiny Oyster, Jet and Gold Lip. Coral and bevel cut MOP rectangles finish either side. Silver twist wire accents the upper and lower border recesses. It's 1-1/2" wide and will best fit a 6-1/4" to 6-1/2" wrist. It's hallmarked and in excellent condition. Collectible and wearable, this Vintage Zuni Apache Crown Dancer Cuff is one of a kind! 

NOTE: Solidly built, this cannot be squeezed in or out.

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.
