Nine carefully cut rectangular-shaped turquoise gemstones comprise this mid-20th century Navajo silver bracelet. The turquoise were cut, shaped, and set into handmade silver bezels tapering from a larger center gemstone to gradually smaller ones as it reaches the shank. The shank was expertly stamped, with a series of geometric designs. Small silver drops are interspersed between each turquoise. This turquoise and silver bracelet was skillfully made and the stones are of excellent quality. Square-cut turquoise is seen less often than rounded ones.
Condition: excellent condition.
