Description: Offered here is a bold and beautiful sterling silver and turquoise bracelet. This bracelet is set with high grade turquoise stones which have a lot of iron pyrite running through the matrix. We strongly believe these to be from the Morenci mine. Alberto Contreras was a famous artist from the Tucson area. He started out working for Frank Patania at the famous Thunderbird shop and you can definitely see the Patania influence in this work of art. This one is worth taking a look at!

Approx. Age: Circa 1960s.

Size: Inside circumference measures approx. 5-3/8 inches with an additional 1-1/2 inch opening (making it fit an approx. 6-7/8 inch wrist.) It is inches 1-7/8 wide at its widest part and weighs 135.1 g.

Condition: Good for its age. Normal wear and minor imperfections expected on used and vintage items.
