Bracelet c. 1925

This silver bracelet, created by a Navajo (Diné) artist around 1925, is a beautiful example of Native American jewelry. The bracelet features a single turquoise stone set in a silver bezel and intricate geometric designs stamped into the silver band. Navajo silversmithing is known for its use of traditional designs and materials, often incorporating turquoise, coral, and other natural elements. This bracelet is a testament to the artistic skill and cultural heritage of the Navajo people. It is currently part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art’s collection.
