Description: Although this bracelet is from the Fred Harvey Era, it is a better kind of handmade bracelet. The natural turquoise stone has a nice brownish matrix and six drops on either side of the bezel. It is a hand stamped cuff. There is a small repair on the back to the right of the setting.
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 3/8" plus there is just over a 1 1/8" gap (making this bracelet fit about a 6 1/2" wrist). It is about 5/8" wide across the face and weighs 22.4 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 and likely came from one of the shops that made several of these. 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, as noted above, there is an old repair evident on the backside.
