Early Navajo Ingot Sterling Silver Turquoise Bracelet Vintage Old Fred Harvey

  
From a Green Valley, Arizona collector's estate. The silver is clearly made with pounded ingot silver as seen by the very well defined creases or annealing marks visible in the close-up of the back side of the bracelet. Please note that this is a small bracelet for a petite wrist.

5½" end to end plus a gap opening of ¾" which would equal a wrist circumference of about 6½ inches. And you certainly don't want it too tight.

The stamping is another indication of the bracelet's early age. And finally a rich dark green stone -- soft turquoise that has absorbed decades of hand oils to achieve that color. Total weight is 13 grams.

Excellent condition with appropriate patina. How to Make Sure Your Bracelet Will Fit: The best way to get a good fit is to measure a cuff bracelet you already have that fits you well and look for a bracelet with those dimensions. If you don't have a cuff bracelet to use for comparison, then measure your wrist where you want to wear the bracelet. Use a half inch wide strip of paper and wrap it around your wrist.

Be sure that it completes its circumference over your wrist bone and is in comfortable contact with your skin the whole way around. Mark the paper where it begins to overlap with the start, lay it out flat, and measure from the start to the mark. This is your proper wrist circumference.
