This stunning cuff bracelet features a vibrant turquoise and orange mosaic design, perfect for adding a pop of color to any outfit. We are proud to offer this striking vintage Navajo silver bracelet. Rectangular and square designs of chip inlay turquoise and coral dance across the entire face of this unforgettable cuff, as handstamped designs greet the sides! In chip inlay jewelry, small chips or fragments of turquoise, coral, or other stones are carefully shaped and set into a design on the surface of the metal, creating a mosaic-like effect. The chips are typically surrounded by a metal border or bezel, which holds them securely in place. This technique allows for intricate and colorful designs to be created, with the natural beauty of the gemstones accentuating the metalwork. Turquoise and coral are commonly used in chip inlay jewelry due to their vibrant colors and cultural significance. Turquoise is highly valued in Native American jewelry and symbolizes protection, strength, and spiritual connection. Coral, often in shades of red or orange, represents life force and is associated with fertility and protection. The bracelet looks to have been repaired, shown in images. The width of the bracelet measures around 1-1/1". Sterling silver. The inside end to end measures around 6-1/4" with an additional 1-1/8" gap. Sturdy 51.8 grams. Cir Mid Century +
