This is a vintage, nine stone, turquoise & sterling silver bracelet that we purchased at an estate sale in New Mexico.
Made by the well known Bell Trading Post, this wonderful old "tourist" bracelet features nine beautifully matched turquoise stones and very attractive silver applications.
The inside of the bracelet measures 5+1/4" long plus there's a gap of 1". It weighs a very comfortable 13 grams.
The inside is stamped sterling and has the old Bell hallmark.
It has some flexibility so a small, careful, size adjustment can be made.
The seller told us that the bracelet was most likely made during the 1950's or 1960's.
Despite it's age and travels this wonderful old beauty is still in remarkably good condition.
It can use a bit of cleaning but we'll leave that for it's next owner to do. Our policy is that we never clean vintage jewelry as most collectors prefer to receive these older pieces "as is".
