Vintage Zuni INGOT silver bracelet with blue natural turquoise channel inlay. The bracelet shank was meticulously crafted from a silver ingot or coins. You can see fold marks on both sides of the shank at the tapered ends that evidences this. There are applied twist wires on both sides of the shank. Fred Harvey era ingot silver channel inlay bracelets like this are quite rare! Most are crafted from sterling silver and many are cast instead of being totally handcrafted, like this amazing bracelet.
Excellent quality and condition. Unsigned, as is typical of jewelry of this era – ca. mid – 1900’s. Reasonable starting price.
RARE BRACELET!
