Description: This a better than average bracelet which features three beautiful turquoise stones (which are strongly attributed to being Blue Gem turquoise). The base has handmade twisted wire and triangle wire along with some nice silver applique enhancements. On the back there are four small cracks in the twisted silver wire, but it does not affect the integrity of the bracelet because the twisted wire is soldered to the base plate under the stones all the way across.
Maker: Most likely Navajo or Pueblo, but there is not maker's mark (as was common of Native Style jewelry from this era).
Approx. Age: Vintage (Circa 1930s - 50s).
Size: Inside circumference measures 5 1/8" plus there is just over a 1 1/8" gap (making this bracelet fit about a 1 1/8" wrist). It is about 1 1/8" wide across the face and weighs 46.1 g.
Additional info: The Fred Harvey Era refers to a time frame from about the mid 1950s back to around the turn of the last century. Tourist bought Native Jewelry and other items while traveling by Rail and later by Highway. This old bracelet is from that era. It was tested as being either sterling (.925) or at least coin (.900) silver.
Condition: Good for its age. Normal wear and minor imperfections expected on used and vintage items. Also a couple of minor imperfections on the back as mentioned above.
