Navajo Indian Jewelry C3789DElegant, dainty, lace-like could be descriptions of this bracelet.  It is one of the most finely detailed works imaginable.  It appears that channels were cut into the silver base and then strips of silver rope were inserted into the channels. The other option to consider is that it is silver overlay where a thin sheet of silver serves as the backing and then a second layer of silver with cut-out designs is overlaid on the backing.  Regardless of the technique used, it is a beautiful bracelet with a deep blue/green turquoise stone at the center.
