*TO FIND YOUR BRACELET SIZE: Using a flexible tape measure or strip of paper, measure your wrist just below the bone (about where you would wear your bracelet). If you want the bracelet to fit tightly, add circa 1/4-1/2” to that measurement. If it you want it looser, add a bit more. Experiment to see what would feel comfortable. If these directions confuse you, please contact me and I will email you photos of a bracelet being measured.

Look carefully at the structure as well as the beautiful silverwork on this bracelet. Every element speaks of “early” and “quality”, characteristics that are very desirable. The stones are beautiful as well as of a very high grade (it has been speculated that the stones are from the Godber/Burnham mine) . The bezels around the stones clearly were handmade with rudimentary tools. For collectors of Navajo jewelry, this bracelet is awesome.
