NAVAJO HANDCRAFTED CUFF BRACELET

Measuring 3/4" in width with a inside measurement of 5"1/2 & a 1"1/4 opening, this bracelet is perfectly sized to almost any wrist! Beautifully crafted by Navajo artist Albert Jake. He has used 7 golden hills turquoise stones that taper in length from 1/4' to 1/2". Simply styled with its silver work, it has a very elegant feel. Very comfortable. 

Stone:  In the Russian hills of Kazakhstan sits the GOLDEN HILLS mine. The Turquoise is only mined in the winter months during the freezing cold and snow as rains flood the mine during the summer. The location of the mine is remote and difficult to bring equipment in and out of. It is the only Turquoise known to have the unique coloring of bright blue with a Lavender undertone.
