● About the Item ● This is a super vintage Hopi bangle. It's a second-generation piece from G.I. BILL, the predecessor of the HOPI GUILD. And I believe the design is by Fred Kabotie. He passed away around 2004, but I remember the production year being around 1950-1961, making it a very rare piece. This is for true enthusiasts. The black oxidized areas are from the early Hopi period, featuring a simple design without the use of a chisel. *Please note that many items circulating as "Old Hopi" are actually Navajo-made. The size is approximately 13.5cm for the silver plate part, and about 16.5cm including the opening. Due to the 4.3cm wide width, it feels slightly smaller than the actual size. I have small wrists, so I've slightly adjusted it. Some adjustment is possible. It's quite old, but the condition is good considering its age. It also has high historical value. ◼︎ Requests ◼︎ As this is Native American jewelry, it has the charm of being handmade, as well as some imperfections in the craftsmanship. Also, as with all silver products, there are some tarnish and minor scratches. If you are concerned, please refrain from purchasing. I am a collector, and I will not answer questions such as "Where did you buy it?" or "How much did you buy it for?" as it causes inconvenience. I have seen and handled a considerable number of new and old Native American jewelry pieces, so I am confident in the items I am selling. ◼︎ About Transactions ◼︎ *Basically, I would like to sell at the listed price, but I am willing to consider a reasonable discount. However, I will prioritize the person who purchases first, even if negotiations are ongoing. *Also, I will block (blacklist) those who make unreasonable discounts or repeat one-sided demands. I will also block those who frequently change their names, or those who only "like" the item every time without asking questions, negotiating, or purchasing, as it feels uncomfortable. *The same applies to those who use rude language or if I judge that the transaction will not go smoothly. *You are welcome to not purchase after a discount negotiation, but the same applies to those who do not respond. *I do not accept exclusive listings, as they can lead to trouble. *Please provide a 【receipt evaluation】 as soon as possible after receiving the item. Thank you for your understanding.
