4 3/4 ring size (1 7/8” long)

onyx, mother of pearl, turquoise, yellow clam shell, spandela shell (spiny oyster), sterling silver

excellent condition (Mickey’s left ear has a replaced onyx stone)

circa 1960s-1970s

ex: Private Collection

This vintage Zuni ring in the form of Disney’s Mickey Mouse is a rare early work. It is part of a group of Zuni Disney character rings that came from a private collection. Each one of the rings in this collection was clearly made by a skilled Zuni lapidary who utilized high quality stones.

Dating this Disney jewelry has been a matter of using my knowledge combined with my instinct. I have erred on the side of caution when I listed them as having been made from the 1960s to the 1970s but they may well have been made earlier.

$1800.
