NAVAJO CUFF BRACELET WITH GENUINE LAPIS

Beautifully Navajo handcrafted cuff bracelet. Genuine Lapis inlayed stones are set in sterling silver. The bracelet measures 3/8" at its widest point and tapers down to 1/8". Carved southwestern patterns can be seen on the sides to the bracelet. Highly detailed and easy to wear, this is one of the artist's best. 

Stone: Lapis Lazuli – Mines in northeast Afghanistan continue to be a major source of lapis lazuli. It is a stone prized for its intense blue color. The name Lapis Lazuli comes from the Arabic word lazward, from which the word azure comes, which means blue. Ancient Romans used to call it "sapphires," which was subsequently applied to the blue variety of corundum we know today as sapphire.
