Vintage Handcrafted Zuni Turquoise & SterlingSilver Baby Bracelet, NativeAmerican

Vintage Hand Crafted Zuni Turquoise & Sterling Silver Baby or Small Child Cuff Bracelet, Native American. Here we have a hand crafted vintage baby bracelet from the days when it was common, especially in the Southwest among Hispanic and Native American cultures, to give a tiny bracelet to a baby as a newborn or baptismal gift. This one consists of eleven hand-shaped turquoise cabochons set in a saw-tooth bezel snake eye setting and with slight traditional raindrop beading. I cannot read the stamp on the inside of the bracelet.

You can see feather design on both sides of the bracelet and the marks left behind by the tools. This would have been worn by a baby or small child for special occasions. Add it to your collection of Native American jewelry or gift it to a special baby in your life. Such a sweet tradition and piece of history. Very good condition for its age.

We do not polish tarnished silver since many people prefer the look of the oxidation.
