Diné (Navajo) Sterling Silver and Turquoise Shadow-Box Bracelet [SOLD]

The initials LC are stamped on the bracelet. Greg Schaaf identifies three jewelers with those initials—Luciano Chavez, Lee Chee, and Louise Clark—so we do not know which one might have made this bracelet or, perhaps, another artisan did.

The bracelet is made in the shadow-box fashion of the 1970s where the turquoise is recessed in a shadow box frame. The body of the bracelet is comprised of five split silver bars spread out at the center and attached at the ends. A beautiful array of sunrays shines on both sides of the bracelet. Seven beautiful blue turquoise stones with copper matrix are set in the center.
