  • Condition: The stonework and bezels are in good condition! The silver is very slightly worn and has not been abused. I believe that the domed stones are natural and the have the natural inclusions and imperfections that you would expect and want. There may be hairline cracks in the Turquoise. I can not be certain as to these being "fresh" or if they have been there all along. There is a moderate tarnish. This one is in very good condition!

    The 5 Gem Kingman Mine Turquoise Cuff Bracelet
    This wonderful Sterling Silver and Kingman Mine 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 Gem Kingman Turquoise Stones. They have natural inclusions and internal imperfections that most collectors find desirable. It looks like two have what appear to be hairline cracks. I would not be surprised to learn that they have been this way for thousands of years. In any event, they are secure and tight in their bezels and not noticeable without magnification. The luminosity and depth of color is captivating. The Sterling Silver has a very light tarnish on the inside of the Bracelet and heavy on the outside in the area around the central field of water drops and the 5 Turquoise. I believe that you will be pleased!
    This charming Bracelet is full of character. With 5 Gem Kingman Mine stones with dramatic color 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!
