Vintage Navajo Bracelet

Soldiers returning from European service after WWII brought expanded visions and the foliage design element was among them. The face of this platform bracelet carries that new leaf motif, here incorporated with a traditional feather bundle, surrounded with silver raindrops beads. Feather fan plated cover the sides of the triple wire shank. Weighing a svelte 2.7 ounces of Sterling silver, this beauty can go all day without tiring the wrist as so many heavyweights do.

The turquoise looks to be natural BLUE GEM, the coral also natural Corsican. Circa 1970s by Mae Costello, Navajo Dine’. FIFTY YEAR PATINA! Seventies traders mark. 5.25” shank for medium wrist. Excellent condition.
