Simplicio Turquoise Pin and Earrings Native American Zuni- Vintage
This is a great opportunity to add some Simplicio pieces to your collection. The pin was probably made by Dan Simplicio (1917-1969) or another member of his family. It features the characteristic angled turquoise and the single-stamp leaves that Dan was known for. The earrings were made by Carmelita Simplicio and are newer than the pin. I have left the dark patina as-found, though both the earrings and pin could be polished brighter if you prefer. The earrings are stamped Simplicio and Sterling. The pin is not as you would expect from a piece of this age.
Measurements:
Pin: 1 3/8" x 7/8
Earrings: 11/16" x 1/2"
Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Protect your jewelry from harsh chemicals and solvents as they can damage turquoise and other stones. I recommend using a Sunshine Cloth or similar to polish your silver. Do not immerse or subject your jewelry to running water as it can dislodge the stone from the setting.
