[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9874792, member: 2844"]Friend Sarah has a lovely bracelet, with a very nice family tradition. It is 1960s or earlier imo. Older SW turquoise jewellery usually has unmatched stones, so there was probably already a bit of difference in shade of turquoise. Untreated turquoise can and will absorb skin grease, etc. Over time that causes discolouration. Sarah has her ancestors with her as she wears the bracelet. The style as such is Zuni, but it could be either Zuni or Navajo made. Without a siggy we will never know. If you google 'Zuni snake eye bracelet' you will probably find similar ones.[/QUOTE]
