Vintage Fred Harvey Coin Silver Bright Turquoise Bracelet Very Fine Silver Work
Item History & Price
This is a wonderful old bracelet from the Fred Harvey Era (early 1900s) Navajo artisans were recruited by entrepreneur Fredy Harvey who had rest stops and souvenir shops along the Railroad line and later along the roadside for travelers heading West. The jewelry was created to appeal to European taste nad has a streamlined profile with decorative elements carved into the side.
The turquoise on this piece is a nice chunk of polished natural blue green turquoise, set in silver with o...rnate details and decorations. Unmarked but tests positive for coin silver (.900) or better consistent with old pawn jewelry. This is a lovely example of vintage Native American Jewelry from the early Fred Harvey Era. The stamps are very unique with a rain cloud ornate arrows and sun hursts hand stamped along the sides. Can be worn by a man or woman, my wrist measures 6.5 inches and there is plenty of room for expansion. The inside of the bracelet is 5.2 inches with a one inch gap that can be expanded and fit an 8 inch wrist or slightly bigger. Can be worn alone or stacked with others as shown!
Thanks for looking!
