Effie Calavaza Zuni Sterling Silver coral turquoise bolo tie

Description

Vintage, authentic, Effie Calavaza (Zuni), signed,  Sterling Silver, coral and turquoise bolo tie.
I personally bought this from Gordon Wheeler's Indian Trading Post in Sedona, AZ in the early 90's. Sadly, Gordon has now long passed and the family decided to shut down the shop. It was a Sedona icon for a very long time and re-known for the quality of the authentic merchandise. Has typical, normal tarnish in the silver that could be easily cleaned up to restore its original, lustrous shine, but I did not want to alter its aged patina.
Solid 925 sterling silver bolo tie on a braided leather cord with 2 1/4 inch tips, Signed Effie C  Zuni on the back. This piece is extremely well-made, as is usual with all her work, with the beautiful snake design that is her unique, distinguishing trademark, and timeless quality turquoise and coral. I wore it only a couple of times, and it has been stored for many years, the sterling pieces show little or no signs of wear other than the patina due to age.
This item will be shipped priority mail immediately.
