At first, Adobe Gallery designated this as a child's bracelet because we cannot conceive that it would fit an adult wrist. The bracelet is charming in its small, diminutive size. The bracelet was constructed from three silver wires, spread at the top and joined at the ends. On top of the band, the silversmith placed a pyramidal cut silver sheet on which were mounted three triangular turquoise gemstones, each mounted in silver bezels. The three sky-blue turquoise cabochons match in color and are in perfect condition.
Again, we designated the Diné of the Navajo Nation bracelet as a "child's bracelet" because of the small wrist size of 4-⅜. However, Adobe Gallery has been informed that there are women with very small wrists. So perhaps it is destined for such a person and not for a child.
