Vintage Navajo Turquoise Bracelet Pawn
This vintage Navajo made bracelet cuff still has the pawn ticket attached. This is an unusual looking bracelet cuff, to me anyway. It has a really domed, greenish turquoise stone in the center surrounded by twisted silver wire. There are applied etched silver pieces on either side. I can't find any markings on it as to silver content or maker.
It measures 1 3/8" tall and tapers down to 3/16" at the ends.
It has an inside of about 5" with a somewhat flexible wrist gap of 1". weight: 22.8 grams
I
I placed a quarter there for scale.
I'm very much a fan of Vintage Native American Jewelry. This jewelry has not been cleaned and will not be perfect. And this one is really tarnished.
There's a certain amount of wear on older pieces which is to be expected
and I always wonder what stories they'd have to tell in their travels through time.
Some pieces are unmarked as to artist and silver content. What you see is what you get!
Sure to make a Fine addition to any collection, or a great gift! Please note: Pictures are enlarged to show detail, remember everything looks bigger on line :)
