Zuni Indian TAMARA PINTO Butterfly Necklace + Earrings Rare, Pristine, Beautiful

EXTREMELY RARE ABSOLUTE PRISTINE! From my personal collection. Came directly off of the Zuni Indian reservation in New Mexico some years ago. TAMARA PINTO Zuni Native American BUTTERFLY squash blossom necklace and earrings set. Although this does not have the typical “squash blossoms” it is considered that style/type of necklace by some collectors of Native American Indian jewelry. Meticulously Handmade by Zuni Indian artist TAMARA PINTO. Please see photo for artist’s personal hallmark. Please note: The necklace LINKS are all HANDCRAFTED and hand soldered to form the necklace. This type of hand-craftsmanship is rarely seen. BEAUTIFUL, PAINSTAKINGLY ALL HANDMADE. Absolutely gorgeous in person. Please very carefully study all the inlay and hand-carving. Absolutely never worn, never used. From my PRIVATE collection. PLEASE NOTE: Sterling is slightly tarnishing from age. No damaged stones, no cracked stones, no missing stones. Some of the stones are HAND-ETCHED. MUCH, MUCH BETTER THAN PHOTOS. Please, please carefully study ALL of the photos to make sure this is acceptable to you. I have provided many photos to help with your decision. Necklace size: 22 1/2 around the neck circumference. 50 grams on my jeweler’s scale. Please note: my scale is not professionally calibrated but I have never had any complaints from my buyers about my scale being inaccurate or wrong. BUTTERFLIES: Sizes as follows: Main butterfly 1 5/8″ x 1 3/8″ Side butterflies 1 1/2″ x 1 1/8″. Earrings: 10 grams 1 1/4″ x 1 1/4″. Please note: Butterflies appear much LARGER in person than their dimensions. This truly is one of those EXTREMELY RARE sets that belong in a Native American Indian Zuni tribe/nation museum.
