    Description

    Welcome!
    WHAT IS GREAT ABOUT IT: I offer for your consideration a unique early hand constructed Navajo bracelet dating to the 1930s, with four gorgeous natural turquoise stones, applied small raindrops and two large applied drops framing the stones and stunning hand stamp work. The turquoise would be either Bisbee or Blue Gem mine in my opinion. This is a really elegant work of art, and so collectible as the early gorgeous bracelets are.
    CONDITION: excellent vintage, wearable, collectible.
    MEASUREMENTS:
    • internal length silver alone 5", gap 1", total 6". There is some spring to it.
    • the width is 1/2" throughout
    • the weight is 27.49grams
    • of the four turquoise stones two, slightly larger (1/2" long), in the center, two slightly smaller (7/16" long) on the ends
    • unmarked as is usual for those times, but it's at least coin silver at .900 or sterling at .925
    • unsigned as is usual for those times
    SUMMARY: This is an exquisite truly elegant very early bracelet with gorgeous stones and impeccable silver work. As collectible as it gets.

    Take a look at my store.
    Yes, I sometimes can take reasonable offers.
    I request payment by PayPal in two days, but planned in advance of purchase, alternate payment methods and time payments can generally be arranged.
    I generally ship same day. Domestic: FREE expedited US shipping.
    International buyers pay actual shipping cost if I’m shipping myself rather than using eBay’s Global Shipping service, and International buyers are responsible for any customs fees their own countries may apply. Please discuss changing shipping method prior to purchase. My shipping defaults to Express International, which is tracked and insured, but I can use Priority Mail International. It's less expensive and is also tracked. First Class International is no longer offered by the US Postal Service. I charge the actual shipping cost and since shipping to each country costs a different amount, I will charge a little extra and refund the exact difference once I can put your address in and print a shipping label. I am no longer shipping to Italy and China, but can make exceptions if you speak with me about it, especially if you are a prior customer.

    When I include pages from published books in my listings it is in accordance with Fair Use Law, which permits the use of source material for discussion, reference, education and criticism.
    Attributions on many of the old pieces of Native American jewelry are sometimes a moving target. All the books have errors, so in addition to counterchecking, I have developed some expertise over the years and I do care about getting it right, so as more information comes to light I update my listings and also get in touch with my previous buyers, to inform them of any changes in attributions. I am sincerely committed to ongoing accuracy.
    Everything I sell comes from my personal collection or is something that I would include in my personal collection. Most pieces are museum worthy and gallery suitable, sold to you at great pricing. I vet every item carefully for quality and condition, and offer you the best.
