It tested positive for Sterling Silver. We believe it was created circa 1940. This collectible cuff bracelet was expertly crafted with attention to detail in the traditional HOPI overlay technique and is in very good vintage condition (please see ALL photos for an accurate detailed depiction). Overall, the cuff bracelet measures approx. The interior circumference is approx.
7" TOTAL including 1 5/8" opening. There is a bit of flexibility for careful adjusting. This bracelet weighs a very hefty 53.9 grams - 1.735 ounce s. This classic HOPI Petroglyph Design Sterling Silver and Turquoise Cuff Bracelet expertly crafted by a skilled silver artisan, perhaps PAUL SAUFKIE Sr.
Would make an outstanding addition to any Twentieth Century Southwest American Silver and stone Jewelry, HOPI, Ancient Petroglyph or Historic Cultural Arts and Crafts collection. We have been involved in the design and creation of contemporary jewelry at the undergraduate and postgraduate level since 1967.In 1975 we opened a gallery of hand wrought fine art contemporary jewels and have since handled thousands of unique, one of a kind and limited edition pieces crafted predominantly by American artisans with a special emphasis on Native American Art. Will be determined upon request. We believe our photos and description to be an accurate testament. Thus, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Thanks for looking and good luck.
