ABOUT THE ITEM
Native American jewelry is known for its handmade designs in sterling silver, often set with turquoise, coral, and other local gems. Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi are the three main tribes responsible for producing some of the most beautiful, creative and exciting sterling silver jewelry in American history.
Navajo jewelry is known for large, chunky gems bezel-set in sterling silver. Turquoise, coral, onyx, and other local gems were commonly used in Navajo jewelry.
This vintage, Native American Navajo cuff bracelet was hand fabricated in sterling silver. It features six (6) salmon-colored natural coral cabochons mounted in pierced collets. The cuff measures 18mm wide and is embellished with hand-chased, applied feather details. It still has the original price sticker on the interior of the cuff, reading "75".
