About The Old Harvey Company Style Bracelet with 3 Stones

Three round turquoise stones accent the cuff with two parallel decorative arrows and "sunface" stamping. It has been cut and spread at the front to form three nicely scallop stamped bands to which three circular "raindrop" settings have been soldered. These settings are either cast or struck with a silver beaded edge and a rope-twist frame within for the hand-fabricated bezel in the center.

There is some wear showing in the stones.The ends and edges of the cuff are very smooth, but this is from at least 75 years of being worn as a "favorite" piece! It is very handsome indeed!

About Navajo

The Navajo were the first of the Native Americans of the Southwest to learn silversmithing from the Spanish. Most Navajo jewelry emphasizes silver, with turquoise stones used as an accent. Some pieces are cast in sand or tufa molds, while others are hammered, using a male stamp and a female die.
