This piece was among a large lot of jewelry I bought from a man who used to sell Native American jewelry at art fairs in the 70s and early 80s. When he retired he stored his remaining inventory, where it remained until I met him this year and negotiated to buy him out. This Is New Old Stock - Vintage Jewelry That Has Never Been Sold, Pre-Owned, Or Worn Before! As such, it is in Brand New Condition.
