Very good vintage vintage condition.
Some fine surface scratches and tiny dings with a rich patina in crevices consistent with age, soldering and hand-forged marks.
Piece has only been lightly polished to avoid damaging the patina. As with all our antique and vintage sterling jewelry we sell, piece has only been lightly polished to avoid damaging the patina, as some Native American sterling collectors value the natural look and provenance of patina.
Stones have natural striations, inclusions, flaws, and variations in color, size, and shape.
Necklace is unmarked. The beads, pendants, and hook each acid scratch tested positive for .925 sterling silver. See pics for test results.
NOTE: There are non-sterling, magnetic components to this necklace. The stone settings have steel backings and/or epoxy settings, and the hollow torpedo/elongated melon and round beads are strung on a magnetic coated wire.
Necklace measures 15.25 inches long; fit (circumference) is closer to 15 inches. It weighs 26.6 grams; keep in mind some of this weigh includes non-sterling elements.
An extraordinary 1960's/1970's brutalist style with striking turquoise stones.
Carefully packaged and shipped in a jewelry gift box.
