Let’s talk Classic, shall we?
This is a Classic Navajo ingot silver, early 20th Century, bracelet with sunburst design. The sunburst consisted of a circular ingot plate soldered on to a filed bracelet with early, runny homemade solder. The rays of the sunburst are made with a cold chisel, and the central stone is a hand-cut cabochon mounted with a handmade bezel. The bracelet appears to be stamped with the end of a file. The sunburst plate is very worn on both ends, but one end much more than the other. Perhaps there was one way the bracelet fit best, so that one side got a lot more wear from a stack of bracelets than the other?
This bracelet is for sale. It measures just under 6” from terminal to terminal, with a 1” gap between terminals. Who will be the lucky owner of this classic Navajo Bracelet?
