I was told by a local Antique Dealer these can be easily replaced.   I am selling this for a friend. She said in 1982 she was in the hospital in Albuquerque and her husband went to a shop and bought this necklace and earrings for her. He paid $5000! Sadly her husband passed away a few years ago and with the rising cost of everything she is forced to sell some of her treasures. The only other one we have been able to locate is in The ZUNI Exhibit in The Kennedy Museum of Art and it is 3 ½” inches shorter that this one. This is not a toy or factory made copy this is the real deal! Turquoise and Sterling, with hand made beads. Museum Quality! Well marked on the back “R Q PANTEAH”. I have included many pictures. If you have specific questions please ask and we will do our best. I have taken numerous pictures with flash and without to give you a better idea as to quality. The pictures just aren't the same as seeing it for real!   I would say as to the quality and tiny intricate details of this piece that not many of these were ever made. I can't begin to think of the patience or time involved making this beautiful hand made piece   Rosemary and Quincy PanteahRosemary and Quincy Panteah started making petit point jewelry in 1961 as a husband-and-wife team. Quincy was governor of Zuni Pueblo from 1982 to 1983 (during the time this piece was purchased) They stamp marked their jewelry with “R. Q. PANTEAH”   Domestic Shipping will be UPS Ground with Total Value insurable International Shipping with be USPS First Class International I will quote actual shipping cost at end of auction     I will be glad to combine multiple auction wins  Like I always say…”best description, check pics”!    Sold "as is" and "as described"   NO RESERVE   QUESTIONS? e-mail me! bigsteve52@comcast.net   If you need additional pictures e-mail me and I will e-mail you a few.  If you have specific questions please ask and I will do my best, but please type slow as I am older and  don't read as fast anymore.
