Turquoise and silver are a sign of wealth. Instead of bank accounts riches are stored in silver and stone. Bracelets like these can be used to quickly obtain loans, and many families will accumulate tens of thousands of dollars in jewelry. This is a beautiful three row Navajo turquoise bracelet. The way you tell this apart from a Zuni piece is usually by the use of bigger stones that reveal a more freeform cut. This classic has three rows of Sleeping Beauty Turquoise stones. Surrounding the cluster of Arizona rocks are a border of silver drops. Everything sits on three wires, which creates a very comfortable fit. If you like traditional Navajo silver and stone work then you will love this one.
