This is a vintage, eleven stone, turquoise & sterling silver bracelet that we purchased at an estate sale in New Mexico.
This stunning old bracelet was made to feature it's eleven beautifully matched turquoise stones and it's very attractive silver applications.
The inside of the bracelet measures 5+1/2" long plus there's a gap of 1". It weighs a very comfortable 13 grams and the back is stamped sterling.
It has some flexibility so a small, careful, size adjustment can be made.
As with most, vintage, Native American made jewelry there is no artist's hallmark. However the seller told us that she bought it directly from it's maker while visiting the Navajo Reservation during the 1970'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".
