Description: Absolutely lovely example of renowned jeweler’s, Jesse Monongye’s (later spelled Monongya) early work. Solid silver and, I believe, based on a similar piece sold via online auction recently, mother of pearl, coral, onyx, and turquoise. Also based on that piece, I would date it somewhere around 1977. It appears that one or two of the stones have been lost. I considered having it repaired but so far I have not been able to convince myself to do so for authenticity’s sake. It is engraved on the inside with Monongye’s mark as well as with his signature. It does need a good cleaning, of course. Bracelet is sold as-is, so please inspect the images thoroughly. I will gladly upload more images if you would like to see more—just message me and let me know. Rest in peace, Mr. Monongya, and thank you for sharing your gift and beautiful works with us! I know you may hesitate to buy because my account is new but rest assured that is only because I typically sell my items on Mercari. eBay has much more reach when it comes to getting this lovely bracelet in front of the collectors who would care for it and treasure it the way it deserves, so I created an account in order to list it and a few other items that don’t typically sell easily on other selling websites. I have great reviews on Mercari with a 5 star rating, I’m a real person who’s just trying to survive out here, lol, and I will ship your item quickly and with care. If you have any questions about this item or any issues once purchased and received, simply reach out to me and I will answer your question or we will work out the best possible course of action to address your issue—there is no reason to worry! I am also flexible in my pricing so if there is a price that you feel is more appropriate and that you would be willing to pay, feel free to message me with this information, as well. I will gladly consider any reasonable offers. Thank you for looking at my listing, as well as for your time and consideration in reading this description.
