RARE Vintage Navajo Begay Sterling Silver Turquoise Cuff Bracelet HEAVY 94 Grams
This listing is for a vintage Navajo cuff bracelet made of sterling silver, turquoise, and a rarely used silver coin. This handcrafted Navajo piece has a classic design with a rarely used 1985 silver coin. The coin features a man kneeling down in a river panning for gold, with the words The American Prospector written beneath him and USA – 1985 written above. The opposite side of the coin features a flying eagle and the words, One Troy Ounce of Fine Silver. The coin itself isnt rare but, this particular coin being used in a piece of Native American jewelry is rare. A heavier gauge double shank made of solid sterling silver makes up the cuff. The shanks have a classic triangular shape with two end caps applied on the inside of each end. On each side of the cuff a single turquoise stone rests in a straight bezel between the two shanks. Twisted rope surrounds each stone over a thick bed of silver. Bright blue color hues with heavy matrixes, including shimmery pyrite, are featured within the two stones. They have a smooth satin finish and a long oval shape with the back of each one having a stamp by the Artist, J. This piece was designed to have a simple clean look, making sure the attention was directed towards the coin and two stones. Weighing in at 95 grams, this is a solid and sturdy made piece. The double shank is thicker than most pieces. A very well made piece with beautiful stones over clean silver work. This Navajo made piece will make a great addition to your existing collection of fine Native American jewelry…… Or it could be the the perfect piece to start one!
