Natural #8 Navajo Bracelet

This beautiful natural #8 turquoise bracelet was made by Navajo jeweler J. Nelson.  The #8 turquoise mine in Nevada is closed due to the shift from mining turquoise to gold.  The rarity of this stone makes it highly desirable.  The sterling silver setting includes twisted wire around the bezel with a border of precise cut outs with eight silver balls on each side.  The cuff is a quadruple shank with four arms attached to the stone setting.  "J Nelson" and "B.N. 925" are stamped on the inside.

Size: 5.5" with .75" opening - Stone setting: 1.375" H x 1.125" W
