Vintage North American Navajo silver/turquoise bracelet & pendant
$450
Presented for sale is this lovely genuine vintage Navajo silver and turquoise cuff bracelet, and pendant. The cuff is elegantly crafted with silver feathering, curls and stamping on either side of the turquoise, which is a lovely sky-blue colour. The pendant is set with both red coral and turquoise. Style-wise, both appear to be by the same maker, however the pendant is not hallmarked.
I have not cleaned either piece but respected their original patina. You could always use a gentle polishing with a silver cloth to bring back the shine.
The cuff is stamped with ‘Sterling’ and ‘B’ on the reverse. North American Indian pieces stamped with the words ‘Sterling’ usually date from the 1970s-1980s. Measures an inner size of 14cm and gap of 4cm (I have a 19.5cm wrist and it fits perfectly).
There are two strong contenders for the maker of the cuff, either Navajo woman Mae Bia, or Navajo man Benjamin Piaso. Both are masters at the creative silver feathered-work that this piece expertly demonstrates.
Local pickup and cash sale preferred. Could discuss posting at buyers expense (must include insurance for damage or loss).
Please check the pictures as they form part of the item description. The bracelet box is included in the sale.
