The Tufa Cast Bisbee Turquoise Cuff Bracelet
This wonderful Tufa Cast Bracelet was made by the talented Navajo artist. It is not stamped with a hallmark. As you probably know, most of the Tufa Cast Native jewelry was not signed. It is guaranteed to be Sterling Silver and authentic. I have found no defects like a broken or loose stone, scratches, etc. in the Bracelet. Try the "Zoom" function, and take a good look at the fantastic two-toned Gem Bisbee Turquoise Stone! The Sterling Silver has a very light tarnish... I believe that you will be pleased!
I love the Bisbee Mine Turquoise Stone and the delicate "Basket Weave" pattern chosen by the artist as a design motif. It is perfect as a compliment to the marquise cut Bisbee Turquoise stone. If you are looking for a less delicate bracelet take a look at my store for a more substantial Bisbee Tufa Cast Bracelet that you may like...
Bisbee Mine
Bisbee was mined for copper from about 1915-1975. Most of the Gem Grade Turquoise was collected between 1920 and 1950. I've lived in Arizona since the 90's in Tucson, about 85 miles from Bisbee. It is arguably the home of the best Turquoise that Arizona has ever produced and some of the most desirable Gem Grade Turquoise in the world.
This amazing Bracelet is full of character and will be recognized by many people. When you take a look at the pictures, please inspect the bracelet carefully for the fine detail in both design and execution. Your friends
may compliment you and your taste in Bisbee Turquoise Jewelry.
Thanks!
