Navajo bracelet in Deco style

*TO FIND YOUR BRACELET SIZE: Using a flexible tape measure or strip of paper, measure your wrist just below the bone (about where you would wear your bracelet). If you want the bracelet to fit tightly, add circa 1/4-1/2” to that measurement. If it you want it looser, add a bit more. Experiment to see what would feel comfortable. If these directions confuse you, please contact me and I will email you photos of a bracelet being measured.

This vintage bracelet has all the desirable elements in it, in my opinion: beautiful design, skilled technical work, high quality turquoise, early silver (coin silver). We were thrilled to purchase it during our recent show in Santa Fe. The Blue Gem stones appear to "dance" across the surface of the cuff, with a central triangle flanked by trapezoidal stones, anchored by tear-drop stones at each edge. The soldered silver balls are a nice size and they emphasize the happy rhythm of the stones.
