I am selling my largest Navajo bracelets. I have had them displayed on plate stands. This one is about 5" both ways. As you can see from the pictures of the back, It is a heavy plate, curved slightly side to side, cut out with extensions for the smaller (average 5/8" turquoise cabochons (8 of them) around the larger turquoises (average 1 1/4") around the center stone (1 3/8"). 5" long and 5" across the curve. Very heavy triangular silver bars f...orm the bracelet part. All stones obviously from the same mine, maybe from the same boulder. Uniform medium light bluish green. 226 grams. Inside measurement 6" with a 1 3'8" gap. Adjustable.
This is a beautiful, heavy bracelet. One of my best. Not signed, and very heavy indicating not made for trade and maybe before signatures became common. Most Indians bought for quality rather than the identity of the maker, as I understand it, and as I admire. A museum piece
