6.25" Fred Thompson (1922-2002) Navajo Turquoise inlaid silver cuff bracelet.<br>Extremely high grade natural American turquoise.. Marked or unmarked as shown in<br>pics, weight and other measurements in pics. Sorry but my jewelry is stored in a<br>secure location and cannot be accessed for more pictures, videos, or<br>measurements until sold. If you look at pictures/description your question<br>should be answered. Thank you so much for your time and consideration!<br><br>Thompson worked as a smith for Tobe Turpen at the age of 15 and built his career<br>on the skills he learned in Turpen’s shop. He made his own stamps, never sold to<br>dealers, and only sold wholesale to Tobe Turpen. After serving in WWII, he<br>continued to make pieces into the 1990’s. He was a teacher as well as a<br>silversmith. World renowned, he focused on traditional Navajo styles, producing<br>his work with utmost skill using the highest quality stones available.<br>Thompson’s pieces are now rare and hard to find.<br><br>All precious metals are tested and guaranteed, any Native American jewelry<br>referred to as Silver or Sterling is guaranteed to be a minimum of 90% (coin)<br>silver and possibly higher content. Anything marked is guaranteed to be what<br>it's marked, most bracelets are photographed on a 6" wrist (non hairy), rings<br>photographed on the appropriate sized finger when possible. With bracelets if<br>the measurement is not given in the description then inside circumference is<br>shown where the metal meets the number on the the cloth tape measure.
