Early Vintage Navajo Sterling Silver Large Dramatic Petrified Wood Cuff Bracelet

  

On offer is an authentic, vintage NAVAJO hand wrought. 925 sterling silver three (3) band cuff bracelet adorned with a stunning southwestern desert natural hand-cut and polished rectangle shaped agatized petrified wood c abochon stone, raindrops and hand stamped motifs.

This bracelet is not hallmarked which was quite common in earlier Native American jewelry. We believe it was created circa 1940 or perhaps earlier. This classic bracelet was skillfully executed in the traditional old NAVAJO technique with attention to detail and is in very good vintage condition (please see ALL photos for an accurate detailed depiction). The natural, desert landscape sunset hue petrified wood stone is in very good condition with no chips or cracks. The gem quality stone is firmly and securely set in a smooth silver bezel surrounded by silver rope on a plaque with expert hand stamped designs and raindrops.

1 1/4" long x 5/8" wide. The three (3) half-round band bracelet is finished with end caps and measures approx. 1 5/8" tapering to 3/8" wide.

The interior circumference of the cuff is approx. 6 3/4" TOTAL including 1 1/4" opening. The cuff has some flexibility and weighs a hefty 38.9 grams - 1.25 ounces. This traditional, finely crafted NAVAJO. 925 Sterling Silver and Southwest Petrified Wood cuff bracelet by a highly skilled artisan would make an outstanding addition to any Twentieth Century Native American Silver and Stone Jewelry, Southwest American Petrified Wood or Historic Cultural Arts and Crafts collection.

We have been involved in the design and creation of contemporary jewelry at the undergraduate and postgraduate level since 1967. In 1975 we opened a gallery of hand wrought fine art contemporary jewels and have since handled thousands of unique, one of a kind and limited edition pieces crafted predominantly by American artisans with a special emphasis on Native American Art. Will be determined upon request. We believe our photos and description to be an accurate testament.

Thus, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Therefore, in the event that we have made an error and you can describe that error to us. Thanks for looking and good luck.
