Zuni Reyes Neha Butterfly Channel Inlay Bracelet 6-1/4" & Matching Ring Size 6

Description

Welcome!
WHAT IS GREAT ABOUT IT:
This lovely bracelet is signed and made by Reyes Neha, Zuni and the matching ring I'm including is the identical
design
with opposite coloration so they work wonderfully together.  Both use the same colors and stones but where there is coral and turquoise is reversed between the two. Reyes Neha has been active since the 1960s and his work appears in Bassman's books among others, and was sold in Cameron Gallery in Cameron Arizona and Turquoise Village in Zuni. This is a beautiful set.
CONDITION: excellent
vintage, wearable and collectible
MEASUREMENTS:
• internal length of bracelet is about 5-1/4", gap is an additional 1", total is about 6-1/4". The size is for a smaller wrist and we wouldn't want to size it ourselves because the stones could loosen, but it's sizable by a silversmith.
• width of bracelet is 1-7/8" tapering to a little over 1/4" at the finished capped terminals
• weight of bracelet is 42.48grams
• size of ring is 6
• face size of ring is about 7/8" x 7/8"
• weight of ring is 5.29grams
• bracelet is signed R. Neha, Zuni and matching ring is unsigned
• not marked for metal content which is usual, but both pieces are sterling silver
SUMMARY: This is an exceptionally beautiful set made of channel inlay of jet, coral, turquoise. It is so striking because only three of the four sacred colors are used and also because of the opposite use of turquoise and coral between the two pieces. So the eye moves between them and it is a stunning pairing. The use of the three colors rather than four is also reminiscent of the Pueblo Deco styling, early and geometric and striking. Charming collectible set.

When I include pages from published books in my listings it is in accordance with Fair Use Law, which permits the use of source material for discussion, reference, education and criticism.
Attributions on many of the old pieces of Native American jewelry are sometimes a moving target.

I am sincerely committed to ongoing accuracy.
