- Description
- Mill-rolled silver ingot sheet and hand-drawn wire were used to fabricate the basis for this bracelet. Finer drawn gauge wire was used to create the "rope twist" ornament surrounding the base of each of three hand cut, file serrated bezels. "Raindrops" framing each stone setting were individually smelted and stamped prior to being soldered into place. "Frames" for the stones have a "ring" stamp while four larger drops soldered to the cuff shank between the stone sets have a "ring" stamp from which finely cut rays emanate like sunshine.

- About The Navajo or Zuni Three Stone Sterling Bracelet
This significant and handsomely executed bracelet is all about the quality turquoise the artist wanted to display. The stones are beautifully hued ranging from intense lighter blue greens to darker bluer areas. Surfaces have natural valleys with red brown to dark tan matrix, left to conserve the turquoise mass and its early presence.
Bracelet can be adjusted to accommodate a wrist size of 7".
Center stone is marquise shape measuring 1 5/16" height X 3/4" at widest point. Oval stones flanking center stone measure 13/16" X 9/16" and 13/16" X 19/32".
