Here's a lovely set of vintage turquoise needlepoint silver watch tips. The watch tips are set with sleeping beauty turquoise needlepoints, against a dark oxidized recessed background. The style is typical of Zuni jewelry from the 1970's or earlier, however they are unsigned. I obtained these watch tips from friends of my family who run a Native American and Western Art auction house in New Mexico. They have been in business for years and are very knowledgeable.

The tips measure about 1-1/4" long by 5/8" wide. The tips have 1/2" wide connectors for connecting to the watchface. (One side is slightly smaller than the other side, but they will both fir a watchface with 1/2" wide connectors. The tips are currently attached to a 1/4" wide expansion band. The end-to-end measurement un-stretched is 5-1/2" and stretched to the max is 8". I guarantee that the tips are coin silver (.900/90%) or sterling silver (.925/92.5%). Excellent condition. The exact age of the tips is unknown.
