Seven large and spectacular gem grade natural Easter Blue turquoise specimens were selected for this incredible row bracelet created by Sammie Begay. The gems are among the finest from this classic turquoise mine that has been sporadically worked over the last century. Historically, the mine has produced very little gem grade material. These cabochons are the real deal, deep blue with electric reddish-brown, gold and chocolate matrix that sparkles on the heavy shank. The shank is rolled from ingot. The ingot was created by melting old American coin silver from the middle of the last century. The bracelet is a classic revival of a lost art of the Navajo, created from scratch using the only material at hand, coin. Stunning and heavy on the wrist, the finished piece is a great collectible of wearable Native American art.
