    The Triple Bisbee Mine Turquoise "Slant" Cuff Bracelet
    This wonderful Sterling Silver Turquoise Bracelet was made by a talented Navajo artist. It is not stamped with a hallmark. As you probably know, much of the Native jewelry made prior to about 1970 was not signed. It is guaranteed to be Sterling Silver and authentic. I have found no obvious defects like a broken or loose stone, scratches, etc. in the Bracelet. Try the "Zoom" function, and take a good look at the fantastic natural Turquoise Stones. They have natural inclusions and internal imperfections that most collectors find desirable. They are secure and tight in their bezels. The luminosity and depth of color is captivating. The Sterling Silver has a moderate tarnish on the inside of the Bracelet and heavy on the outside in the area around the 3 water drops and medallions. I believe that you will be pleased!
    The 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 charming Bracelet is full of character. It is a somewhat rare "Slant Bracelet" that fits flat against your wrist...but at a slant. With 3 Bisbee Mine stones with dramatic color, matrix, and  luster, will be admired 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 Navajo Turquoise Jewelry.
    Thanks!
