Row Bracelet with Seven Spiderweb Turquoise Stones [SOLD]

The row bracelet is one of the most traditional styles of Southwest Indian Jewelry. It is a style Native American jewelers have been making for almost 100 years. In row bracelets the silver is used as an elaborate frame to accent the beauty of the turquoise stones.

In this bracelet, five oval turquoise cabochons and two circular pieces of turquoise are set between two twisted wires and two bands. The stones are sky blue turquoise with dark spider web lines throughout.  The heavy gauge silver bands are stamped with evenly placed crescent shapes. The unknown artist effectively used the silver to bring out the exquisite beauty of the turquoise. The bracelet was made during the mid- to late-20th Century.

Condition:  this Navajo-made Row Bracelet with Seven Spiderweb Turquoise Stones is in excellent condition.

Provenance: From a collector in Colorado
