Please refer to photos for details and condition. I make every effort to highlight defects or bends that happen over time. It's quite common in vintage items that have been worn a lot to have some misaligned parts, but often they are wearable and if not I will state so. I have many personal pieces that I wear which are not shaped perfectly and it doesn't effect how they look overall or my enjoyment of the piece. I think it adds to the story and character of a piece, but please review carefully and ask questions. Items sold as obtained; I do not commonly polish Native American vintage pieces.. I am an avid hobbyist but not a jewelry expert. =) Please visit my store where I have a collection of fun things including Native American, Mexican and 90's jewelry, along with some odds and ends! I love finding unusual items, especially rough hewn pieces that I consider hidden treasures. While I love the story behind a signed piece, I also enjoy the mystery and uniqueness of unsigned pieces. I use recycled shipping material for mailing. =)
