This beautifully
crafted bracelet is Navajo work. C: 1960's. The bracelet is set with a beautiful natural #8 spider webbed turquoise stone. This bracelet has some of the
finest silver work seen from this era. From stamped silver rain
drops to the fine double twist wire shanks. A soft patina graces the entire bracelet, making the silver work stand out along with the stone.
This lovely bracelet comes from a family collection, with personal connections to the Navajo - Hopi TP on Rte. 66 in Flagstaff AZ (owners), Gallup NM Mercantile, Dean Kirk TP in Manuelito NM and Tobe Turpen's TP in Gallup, NM. There is etching on
the back side from the previous owner for identification.
The top of the bracelet center measures 1
1/4" wide, tapering to 9/16" on end terminals. The inside measurement
is 5 1/4" with a 1 1/8" opening. Has a nice weight.
