Description

This is a particularly pretty bracelet from the early days of the Santa Fe Railroad, Fred Harvey Hotel and Trading Post period. Made from 1909 into the 30's to be sold to travelers on the new highway or rail system running through the Southwest. Shops that produced multiple pieces of the familiar heavily machined stamped designs, employed local Native American artists to complete the work by setting stones and applying pre-stamped out ornaments. Each artisan was encouraged to use his or her own design patterns to create a large variety in which to choose from. Fred Harvey era jewelry is widely collected as an antique jewelry genre valued for its Southwest look and historic context.

This lovely 1909/1930's bracelet features a natural greenish webbed turquoise stone. The silversmith added a pretty floral design around the stone and stamp work on the sides. This piece is aged and has some slight wear on the sides. The overall integrity of the bracelet is excellent. It has a nice lighter weight. The top width (stones & silver) is 1" wide tapering to 5/16" at the bottom terminals. The interior of the cuff measuring 5 5/8" with an opening gap of 1 1/4". Slightly adjustable.
