Navajo
- About The Early Baby Bracelet
Sweet little split shank cuff bracelet, crafted of ingot material. It is set with a turquoise blue pear-shaped stone made of recut Hubbell trade glass. The back plate upon which the bezel for the stone is mounted has a scalloped ornamentation created by the repetitive use of a tiny crescent-shaped stamp. One can see vestiges of a chevron-shaped stamp used to ornament other parts of the bracelet, especially where the shank forks and a silver raindrop, on each side, has been worn smooth.
This piece of jewelry was made lovingly. It is quite solid with a good heft for its diminuitive proportions.
