The turquoise ranges from blue to blue-green with natural matrix and variations that give the bracelet its vintage character.\n\nThe cluster is surrounded by hand-stamped silver decoration, including traditional raindrop and arrow motifs.

Since the mid-nineteenth century, Navajo artisans have transformed sterling and coin silver into jewelry distinguished by bold forms, meticulous hand stamping, carefully set natural stones, and a deep respect for craftsmanship passed from one generation to the next.\n\nTraditional Navajo jewelry is often created by hand using techniques such as sawing, forging, stamping, soldering, and bezel making. Every hammer mark, stamped design, and hand-finished detail reflects the skill and individuality of the silversmith, ensuring that no two handcrafted pieces are exactly alike.\n\nNatural turquoise has long held a special place in Navajo jewelry, valued for both its beauty and its enduring connection to the landscapes of the Southwest. Combined with sterling silver, these materials have become hallmarks of a tradition that continues to evolve while honoring generations of artistic excellence.\n\nTHE 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. The total inside circumference is the inside circumference of the bracelet from end to end plus the gap (the distance between the ends).\nIf you don't have a cuff bracelet to use for comparison, then measure your wrist where you want to wear the bracelet. There are several ways to do this:\n\n1. Use a cloth tape measure to measure around your wrist where you will wear the bracelet. Use this measurement as your wrist size which corresponds to Total Inside Circumference above. \n\nOR\n\n2. Wrap a piece of string (or ribbon) around your wrist where you will wear the bracelet. Make a mark on the string where the end meets the rest of the string. Remove the string and lay it on a ruler. Use this measurement as your wrist size which corresponds to Total Inside\n\nBaby\/Child - Fits up to a 4 1\/4\" wrist\nYouth\/Teen - Fits a 4 3\/8\" to a 5 1\/4 wrist\nSmall - Fits a 5 3\/8\" wrist to 6 1\/4\" wrist\nMedium - Fits from a 6 3\/8\" to a 7 1\/4\" wrist\nLarge - Fits from a 7 3\/8\" to an 8\" wrist \nExtra Large - Fits over 8\" wrist\n\nPlease Note:\nVintage jewelry has lived a previous life and will often display signs of age, including light wear, natural patina, minor surface scratches, or slight irregularities.
