BENNY PINTO NAVAJO STERLING SILVER TURTLE INLAY BOHO EARRINGS/PENDANT MOP TURQ

Description: Greetings from glassdaze65, the real name is Dan, so hello! I have been selling antique and vintage glassware, gold and sterling, coins, bottles, classic vinyl, art and collectibles on eBay for over 15 Years and have maintained a perfect 100% positive rating. I list items in categories in which I have knowledge. If I don't know about an item, I always research first before listing. I will never list or sell you a reproduction/reissue without you knowing about it in the listing! I do not sell "fakes" of any kind. I also do my level-best to keep the ever-whirling world of postage prices as low as possible (see bottom of page)! So bid with confidence and take advantage of that "Make An Offer" button, I'm here for you! For your consideration: An enchanting Vintage Navajo Indian Style Pendant/Earring Set. Original or Repro/Reissue: Original, manufactured and signed by Navajo jewelry silversmith, Benny Pinto. Year (Era) of Manufacture: Exact year unknown, most likely from the 1970's. Color/Characteristics: Sterling Silver, Natural multi-gemstone inlay. Special Attributes: This Rare Set of Navajo gemstone inlay turtles is spectacular. Constructed of minute carvings of Mother of Pearl, Lapis, Turquoise, Carnelian and what looks to be Serpentine, the detailing in this set is spectacular! These outstanding details are the sign of a true artist. One turtle is Signed BP (Benny Pinto), the other W(R), not sure. Signed Sterling. Size: Each Turtle is 5/8" long. Please see photos. Condition: There is no damage outside of common wear. No bending, scratches, etc. It's absolutely beautiful. ***If this item is marked "Vintage," that means that it's not new. "New" just isn't my jam! Like me, it might show signs of wear and use. "Vintage" means that it's been used and enjoyed to varying degrees by someone previously, so check the item's condition. If this item is marked "Rare" or "Scarce" that means that the item is possibly very difficult to find and collectors may be eyeing it! So bid/buy with this in mind. "MIB" means the item is "Mint condition in the original box." "NIB" means the item is "New in the original box." If this item is marked "HTF" that means it's "Hard to find." Vintage glassware will be eyed with more scrutiny - all flea bites, nips, chips and crack will be called out. I will not always disclose "seam roughness," "mold roughness," bubbles or common wear. Final note on glassware: when you see the words "shelf wear," that is wear that shows on the "setting base" of a piece of glass and often dictates age and authenticity. "Shelf wear" looks like multiple surface scratches, is found on authentic old/antique glassware and is caused by decades of being placed and removed from shelves and surfaces (it's a good thing if you collect older glassware, not a bad thing, it means it's real). TY! ***Your shipping is based on where you live in relation to the North East Corridor of the United States (where I live). It is also based on the weight of your item and the package size it will require. All Vinyl is shipped USPS Media snail mail unless otherwise requested. Small items (under a pound) can be shipped USPS First Class snail mail (this is where you will often receive free shipping from me)! Packages over a pound will be shipped USPS Priority and placed in a size-appropriate box (usually 7"x7"x7" / 11"x8"x6" / 12"x12"x8" etc). When a package exceeds 14" the USPS likes to jack up the prices even more, so I might not always list large items and if I do, I usually will offer FedEx as a shipping alternative. Please ask all shipping questions before bidding/buying! TY!
