About The Harvey Company Style Wide Silver Cuff Bracelet

Harvey Company Style wide sterling silver cuff bracelet circa 1910-1920. The silver material basis of the bracelet is hammered from ingot into sheet. The ornamentation is elaborate, using a variety of hand cut stamps--including two part dies for the little repousse "buttons" or "raindrops".

There is a such a density of decoration in the silver alone that the 9 very fine natural turquoise mounted in this bracelet appear to be surrounded in lace. The stones alone, are fantastic. They are perfectly cut and polished ovals ranging in size from 1/4" X 1/3" to 1/3" X 5/8" set in smooth bezels.

The deep teal color of these stones with the dark patina in the stampwork enhance the already dramatic effect of the exquisite bracelet that measures 5 3/4" plus 1" opening.

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.
