Vintage Turquoise Bracelet Sterling Classic Navajo Leaf Design

Description

Jewelry has long been an important art form among southwestern Native Americans. A history of migrations, trade, and cultural
exchange contributes
to its vibrancy.  Navajo upbringing and a core set of common values rooted in tradition: harmony and balance,
reciprocity, respect for the family, and the
importance of leading a life of significance and producing work of quality
.
Classic Navajo design featuring turquoise surrounded by a leaf design.
Stone is set on foundation
of sterling silver.
Pieces before 1970 were rarely signed.  As the demand
from collectors became stronger, the collectors wanted to be able to identify who made
their jewelry.  In 1970
it was recommended the jewelry be identified by a hallmark.   From that time on more and more jewelry was identified by a hallmark.   I have hand polished the bracelet with a soft polishing cloth.  Sterling will  polish to a brilliant shine time after time,  that is the beauty of sterling.
Never out of style, Southwest jewelry is an investment in enjoyment to last a lifetime.
