The bracelet is missing one turqouise snake eye - - - which should be easy and inexpensive to replace with a small, rounded turquoise, or possibly contrasting gemstone (e.g. coral, onyx, mother of pearl) cabochon. The bezel for the missing snake eye cabochon is intact and flexible, for easy repair/replacement. Each fine, 'snake eye' turquoise cabochon is separated by two hand-dropped ingot silver beads; 32 silver beads in all. The inside circumference is 5 1/4âe, with a 1 âe, moderately flexible, gap. Beautiful ingot silver, single shank, with a 90-year, well-aged and fabulous silver patina. On both sides of the 15 fine, variegated, snake eye turqouise cabochons are expertly stamped crescents; their detail bold and clear through nine decades of use. The terminals are curved and polished to ensure a smooth and comfortable fit and wear. Very old, heavy (for its size) ingot silver. A cross-hatch mark on the reverse; probably added later; Zuni jewelry of this period was rarely marked. This c. 1920s, Zuni turquoise
