Zuni Turquoise Belt Buckle Bolo Set Sterling Snakes 0082

Zuni Turquoise Belt Buckle Bolo Set This Zuni Turquoise Belt Buckle Bolo Set by Effie Calavaza displays a wonderful mix of color with her hand hammered snakes, slithering thru the designs! Effie used natural, Kingman Turquoise to accent the Sterling. It’s 2-1/2″ tall by 1-5/8″ at its widest and it comes on a 4-ply, black leather cord (about 43″ long) with twirling, swirling snake tips. The matching buckle has more…it’s bigger 3″ by 2″….it has more stones and it would be superb on its own! There’s a 1-1/2″ keeper on the back. It’s stamped Sterling and hallmarked. Want to exhibit a bold presence with exciting southwest taste…this Kingman Zuni Turquoise Belt Buckle Bolo Set nails it! Effie (1928- ) is from Zuni, NM & started making jewelry with her husband, Juan in the 1950’s. Her jewelry is treasured by collectors, worldwide! She is referenced in Schaaf’s “American Indian Jewelry I & II”, Wright’s “Hallmarks of the Southwest”, Bells “ZUNI: The Art & The People Vol II” & Bassman’s “Zuni Jewelry” just to name a few!
