Turn of Century Row Bracelet

Navajo

About The Turn of Century Row Bracelet

Beautiful old turquoise row bracelet, Navajo crafted of ingot silver. This well-made cuff is set with five very hard, pale blue, natural turquoise cabochons--the color of a Siberian husky's eyes.

Ornamentation of the silver shank is done with varied use of a single hand-cut crescent-shaped stamp. Shaping and notching were accomplished with a file. Bent using a pair of pliers, one can still see the old marks that came through the leather or cloth "cushion".

Quite a remarkable bit of elegance coming from a world without power tools, lit only by sun and firelight. There is some room to adjust size.
