Bell Trading Post Vintage Solid Copper Thunderbird Cuff Bracelet 2” Mid-Century

This striking vintage solid copper cuff bracelet was crafted by Bell Trading Post of Albuquerque, New Mexico, circa 1950s–1960s. It features a bold Thunderbird and ceremonial dancer design, deeply etched and oxidized to create a rich contrast between the raised copper figures and the darkened background. Bell Trading Post was a leading maker of Southwestern jewelry from 1935 to 1969, producing handcrafted copper, silver, and turquoise pieces inspired by Native American artistry. This bracelet is stamped “SOLID COPPER” on the interior — a hallmark of Bell’s work during this era. The bracelet displays beautiful patina and fine detail, with its original warm copper tone intact. A timeless piece of Americana and Route 66 history, perfect for collectors, or vintage jewelry lovers.
