Vintage Zuni JK Turquoise Silver Cuff Bracelet Petit Point Signed JK ZUNI.
Beautiful vintage Zuni cuff bracelet featuring an elegant fan-shaped arrangement of petite turquoise cabochons.
The bracelet is constructed with individually set graduated teardrop turquoise stones in finely serrated bezels, twisted-wire detailing, applied silver drops, and a small horizontal turquoise cabochon at the center. The graceful curved design gives the bracelet a distinctive wing or fan-like appearance.
The reverse is hand engraved “JK ZUNI.”
We have researched the JK hallmark extensively. While JK initials are documented on vintage Zuni jewelry, we have not found sufficient evidence to confidently expand this particular signature to a specific named artist. It is therefore being offered accurately as a signed JK Zuni piece, maker's full identity currently unresolved.
