Ring and earrings set - Zuni - U.S.

Barely worn, original Zuni Native American jewelry from the Navajo reservations, consisting of a large stamped ring and 2 earrings, both made of blue turquoise. This "King's Manassa" ensemble from the eponymous mine in Conejos County, Colorado, is now extremely rare and therefore highly sought after in jewelry making. The stamping "DKL" on the ring refers to the initials of the Navajo artist "David K. Lister". All in like-new condition.
No signs of use. The special feature of the stones from the "Manassa Mine" is the color palette of bright sky blue and the matrix with golden, reddish-brown or black specks or net-like patterns, often traversed by silicate. The Silverclips at the lower part of the rings are a device for clipping on additional accessories such as feathers, which can be inserted and squeezed there so they don’t fall out. So this is not damage to the piece. The jewelry has never been worn. It shows no damages or restorations. The stones retain their natural coloration from their origin and the Manassa Mine in Colorado.
