Really lovely Native American sterling silver cuff bangle. Pueblo design with stamped Zia motifs and a row of mixed gemstones (inc onyx, garnet, turquoise, coral and mother of pearl). The Zia sun symbol is a sacred emblem belonging to the Zia Pueblo people, an Indigenous nation of New Mexico. Stamped with ‘Sterling’.
Nice condition, it comes in an eco friendly gift box.
Size 5.7cm at its widest point, with some flexibility for careful adjustment.
Weight 17g. As this piece weighs over 7.78g, it has been independently tested and hallmarked by the Birmingham Assay Office. Its UK hallmark confirms that the silver meets the sterling standard of 925 fineness.
Although I have been unable to identify the original artist of this piece, its style and craftsmanship lead me to believe that it is a genuine Native American piece of jewellery. With this in mind, Magpie’s Nest will donate 5% of the sale price of this item to First Peoples Fund, a Native run charity supporting Indigenous artists and communities.
