Rare Huge Signed Bennett Vintage Native American Ind Bolo Liquid Necklace-82g
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SEE ALL 11 CLOSE UP AND ENLARGED PHOTO’S FOR BEST OBSERVATION AND INSPECTION. THIS PATENTED SIGNED MURRY BENNETT C-31 CENTER PIECE WAS ORIGINALLY MADE TO BE A BOLO TIE. IT IS MADE SO THE NECKLACE CAN EASILY BE REMOVED. ONE OF THE NAVAJO PUEBLO JEWELER ARTISANS WITH INITIALS “SH” DECIDED TO MAKE A SPECTACULAR NECKLACE/PENDANT OUT OF IT. FOR SALE IS AN EXTREMELY RARE ONE OF A KIND EARLY 1950s HUGE MASSIVE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN NAVAJO TRIBAL HAND CRAFTED DECORATIVE SIGNED BENNETT PATENT C-31 SOLID STERLING SILVER BOLO/PENDANT ON AN EXTRA LONG 10 STRAND SIGNED SH STERLING SILVER NECKLACE. THE HUGE BENNETT BOLO/PENDANT IS CONSTRUCTED WITH EXTREMELY HEAVY, THICK, STURDY STERLING SILVER. THE MASSIVE PIECE WEIGHS 81.9 GRAMS. IT IS OUTSTANDING MAGNIFICENT EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE PATINA THAT FORMED SINCE THE 50’S IS SPECTACULAR. I DO NOT CLEAN OR POLISH IMPORTANT VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN ARTIFACTS OF ANY KIND. IN MY OPINION, REMOVING THE PATINA AND POLISHING IT TO BRILLIANT SHINY SILVER PIECE COULD POSSIBLY DIMINISH THE VALUE. THE BOLO/PENDANT MEASURES 2″ LONG X ABOUT 1-3/4″ WIDE. EXCLUDING THE CENTER PIECE. TURQUOISE ALONE WHICH RESEMBLES A HUGE SHARKS TOOTH IN SHAPE MEASURES JUST OVER 1-3/8″ HIGH X 1-1/8″ WIDE & IS INCREDIBLY AND UNUSUALLY THICK. THE STERLING SILVER 10 STRANDED SIGNED “SH AND HALLMARKED MEASURES 26″ LONG. EACH SIDE OF COURSE HAS 10 STRANDS, EACH SIDE MEASURES 12-1/2 LONG. THE ENTIRE ITEM IS LONGER THAN THE ACTUAL MEASUREMENTS WHEN WEARING IT BECAUSE OF DISTANCE OF EACH SIDE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BOLO/PENDANT. THE MASSIVE SETTING WITH THE TURQUOISE MEASURES ABOUT 5/8 THICK. THE DESIGNS ARE VERY TYPICAL SYMBOLS & PATTERNS, INCLUDING THE LARGEST STERLING FEATHER I HAVE EVER SEEN ON NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN JEWELRY. THE WHOLE PIECE IS INCREDIBLY HAND TOOLED CRAFTSMANSHIP. EACH OF THE THOUSANDS OF TUBULAR STERLING SILVER “LIQUID” BEADS HAVE BEEN HAND STRUNG ONE AT A TIME. MURRY BENNETT WAS 1ST TO DESIGN AND PATENT THIS TYPE BOLO CLOSURE SYSTEM. THIS WAS INVENTED AND PATENTED IN THE EARLY 1950’s. THE EARLY PATENTED TYPE HAVE THE C-31 ADDED TO THE SIGNATURE AND PATENTED STAMP. NEWER ONES STARTING IN THE 60’s DO NOT HAVE THE C-31. AND ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL OLD NAVAJO PIECES LIKE THIS ONE. AT THAT SHOW, I MET AN ELDERLY NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN WOMAN WEARING ANTIQUE NATIVE AMERICAN JEWELRY, WHO TOOK INTEREST IN A COUPLE HIGH END LARGE TURQUOISE & RED CORAL STERLING SILVER RINGS SIGNED BY ONE OF THE BEGAY’S. WE BEGAN TALKING, & I FOUND OUT THE WOMAN GREW UP AND WAS VERY FRIENDLY SOME OF OLDER BEGAY JEWELERS. THEY WERE RELATED TO THE BEGAY FAMILY, AND THE YOUNG MAN WAS INTERESTED IN OBTAINING CASH FOR HIS INHERITED JEWELRY AND ARTIFACTS OF WHICH HE HAD NO INTEREST IN, AND NEEDED SOME EXTRA CASH. CHECK MY LISTINGS FROM TIME TO TIME, I HAVE BEEN & WILL BE MAKING LOTS OF UNUSUAL & UNIQUE ANTIQUE & VINTAGE JEWELRY OF ALL TYPES DAILY. LOTS OF SOLID GOLD INCLUDED.
