Vintage, Circa 1980s, Bracelet, Oval, Nevada Turquoise, Navajo, 6 3/4"

In the mid 1800s silver making was introduced to the Navajo by their Mexican neighbors. They took their new skill and mastered it, creating a style that today is recognized around the world as Navajo. The Navajo would then teach their Zuni neighbors and later the Hopi would learn making the Southwest known for silver art. These early smiths did things differently than today's artists. Working conditions and tools were very primitive, this is a time with no electricity on the Reservations and scarce materials. Also, in the beginning silver was made and traded locally, no tourist trade, yet. A silversmith was looked at with great esteem and jewelry was a sign of wealth.
The antique row bracelet might be the most popular style of vintage jewelry. Collectors from all over the world just seemed to be drawn to this gorgeous style, whether it is one row or ten. A row of beautiful blue American turquoise is surrounded by silver drops. Plus, on the ends of the simple cuff is the classic coming together of silver wires or plates with various designs.
