Item #1028T- Large Vintage Navajo Turquoise Sterling Silver Feathers Scrolls Decorative Cuff Bracelet by ORH
Beautiful vintage Navajo high end turquoise silver feathers decorated cuff bracelet. The bracelet carries an even balanced patina so we haven’t cleaned it. The turquoise is either high grade Morenci or Bisbee. It holds the deep blue color with reddish brown matrix, but also has silvery pyrite which throws me off. Without the pyrite I’d definitely say Bisbee. The beautiful stone is set into a fine sawtooth bezel wrapped with twisted wire. It’s encased inside a satellite of coiled wire barrels and deep stamped wire. The stone setting is mounted to a four (4) piece wire cuff consisting of two (2) twisted wires and two (2) half round wires. All soldered together at both ends with a silver plate. The silversmith finishes the cuff by adding decorative silver feathers, long scroll wires, and twisted rope on both sides of the stone.
