Description
- This distinguished bracelet comes from the days of the Santa Fe Railroad, Fred Harvey Hotels and Trading Posts.
- Made in the 1930’s, this type of bracelet was sold to travelers on the new highway and rail system running throughout the Southwest.
- Shops that produced pieces of this familiar split shank design, employed local Navajo artists to complete the work.
- Each artisan was encouraged to use his or her own designs to create a variety of these type bracelets.
- The irregularity of the spaces of the stamps and the shank are indicate of handcraft work.
- This lovely silver 1930’s bracelet features a greenish/blue, natural Blue Gem turquoise stone.
