This is a elegant scalloped Navajo cuff. Likely dating from before 1950, the quarter inch (diameter) cabachon-cut stones have that rich green patina absent from later turquoise. There are eleven cabachons in all. Chasing rhythmically follows the scalloped shape and ends with zig-zagging arrows. The cuff is .75 inches wide and measured on the inside, reaches 6 inches long. Although the bracelet does not carry a makers mark or a silver mark, it did test positive as silver. The gauge of silver is sturdy (the whole weighs 1.2 ounces) but, pliable enough to conform to your wrist. Would look great worn solo and would also add significant spark to bracelet ensembles.

What an amazing belt. It has fifteen, beautiful elements. Each star shaped element carries a beautifully colored turquoise, bezel-set in its center. As currently assembled, the belt reaches to 40 inches (max). Of course, elements can always be readjusted to fit smaller or larger figures. Additionally, the individual elements easily slide free from the belt. Lots of possibilities, like a good friend. Made around 1970. In excellent condition.

This design is so elegant it hops well beyond the normal expectations of bolero design. The 4 beautifully colored stones are individually set in a 2 inch long panel. Other details are visually purposeful. Just as it should be. The 36 inch cord is made of tightly woven leather that ends in 2 inch silver tips. The bolero is signed "MGB" along the lower edge.

This is one mighty hip cuff. An attention grabber as much for its beautifully colored, large turquoise as for it's playful design. Big but not heavy at 2 ounces. The open sides conform to the wearer's wrist. The flower medallion measures 2-3/8 inches high x 2-1/8 inches wide.
