This top-quality sterling silver and turquoise bracelet was created by Navajo silversmith, Virgil Begay. Virgil has a passion for excellence - using an old pawn finish and choosing the best quality stones - the inside, as well as the outside, of his bracelets are intricately stamped from end to end.
This bracelet has 24 genuine Fox turquoise stones, set in straight bezels and surrounded with stamped hogan beads. The square-cut greenish-blue turquoise stones really pop out against the dark oxidized old pawn finish. The bracelet measures 1-1/4" wide at the widest point, 5-1/4" inside end-to-end plus a carefully adjustable 1-1/8" opening gap. It weighs a 43.4 grams. As reference, my wrist is 6" around (see last photo). Exceptional quality and workmanship.
Brand new in perfect condition. It is stamped sterling and has Virgil Begay's hallmark. Certificate of Authenticity included and gift box included.
Virgil Begay has been creating traditional Navajo jewelry for 25 years. He comes from a family of well known silversmiths. His mother and father were both silversmiths.
