Sublime simple swedged ingot wire bracelet with repeated single scallop stamp, it is set with one beautiful, twilight blue, natural turquoise stone. The material is hand cut to an oval shape and is graced with a sprinkle of lavender, grey and white matrix.
There is not much wear, though, this Navajo creation dates from the late 1920's. First made for a man, this nicely tailored cuff will look good on either a gent or a lady. As is typical of early work, there is no maker's mark.
