Description
6.25" c1940‘s Zuni Knifewing inlay silver cuff bracelet, weight and measurements in pics. Very stout and sturdy bracelet with lifetimes of life left in it. Of the six silver bands, one is broken on both ends on the side of the knifewing. It can‘t be seen when worn, doesn‘t affect it‘s comfort, strength, or anything else.
All precious metals are tested and guaranteed. A Native American jewelry piece referred to as "silver" or "ingot" is guaranteed to be at least 90% silver. I rarely use the word "sterling" when referring to older Native American silver or really any older silver jewelry as silver contents vary and "sterling" is 92.5% silver. No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn‘t an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I‘ve seen thousands of pieces xrf‘d to prove this. Bracelets are photographed on a 6" women‘s wrist.
