This vintage Navajo cuff bracelet, dating from the 1930s-1940s, features an oval turquoise stone set in sterling silver.

This eye-catching piece comes from the Fred Harvey Era, a time when the completion of Route 66 brought many tourists from the east to the southwest. These bracelets were often sold at trading posts along the highway and other popular destinations, where there was a significant demand for Native American crafts, especially jewelry in the Native American style.
