6 1/8" Eunice Claw Navajo sterling Atkinsons Trading Post high grade turquoise cuff bracelet. No issues, weight and measurements in pics. Solid sterling, very nice high grade American turquoise.
Eunice worked for trader Joe Atkinson and the bracelet has her hallmark and that of Atkinson Trading also. The bracelet is set with 5 high grade, natural Turquoise cabochons. The stones are hand cut and set in saw tooth bezels. This bracelet has deep file work on both sides of the triangle wire and stamped rain drops between the stones. The use of top grade turquoise and heavy silver work was always first choice for Joe Atkinsons.
All precious metals are tested and guaranteed. A Native American jewelry piece referred to as "silver" or "ingot" is guaranteed to be at least 90% silver. I rarely use the word "sterling" when referring to older Native American silver or really any older silver jewelry as silver contents vary and "sterling" is 92.5% silver. No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn‘t an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I‘ve seen thousands of pieces xrf‘d to prove this. Bracelets are photographed on a 6" women‘s wrist.
