Although a bit smaller in size, this gorgeous vintage Native American handmade bracelet packs a huge punch with this AWESOME row of Seven Graduating Smokey Bisbee Stones! OK so people including us always say that it is difficult to attribute turquoise to one particular mine unless you pull it out of the ground yourself, but these are so obviously Bisbee. Smokey Bisbee is one of the most distinctive turquoise because of the muddled reddish matrix mixed with the clear BLUE turquoise that you can look into rather than just at.. My favorite is this Smokey Bisbee or also referred to as Bisbee Blue because of the HIGH QUALITY and the ZAT which is that special look you only get from GEM QUALITY STONES THAT YOU GAZE INTO rather than simply look at. These stones have it all and although they total only about 50 carats tops. OH AND ANY WHITE SPOTS THAT YOU MAY SEE IN THE PHOTOS IS LIGHT REFLECTING OFF THE POLISHED STONE. Simply put, this bracelet will look exquisite on your wrist and is perfect for anyone that wants a killer turquoise bracelet! Date: 1950’s ++. Artisan: Unknown Navajo Master Craftsman. Materials: 7 Smokey Bisbee Turquoise & Sterling Silver Wire. Condition: Excellent condition with NO damage to any of the fabulous Bisbee turquoise or sterling silver. Size: 1/2″ wide; inside 5-1/4″ from end to emd plus a 1 opening. Weight: 18 grams- We guestimate approx 10 ct of Bisbee. CONSIGNMENT ITEMS ARE FINAL SALE AND WILL BE NOTED AS SUCH IN THE LISTING.
