Description
All Cuff bracelets on the Estate Fresh Austin website will have the size wrist they fit (in inches) including the gap at the beginning of the title, there are also many photos in this listing which will show a tape measure inside the bracelet, gap size, width, etc. 6.2" Vintage Bisbee Bob turquoise sterling silver cuff bracelet. Tested and guaranteed solid sterling silver, with weight and measurements in pictures, circa last quarter of the 20th century. I do believe the turquoise to be Bisbee. While I'm happy to answer any questions or concerns, I beg you to take the time to look through all of the photos as they should answer them. There should be around 10 photos. If no marking is mentioned or photographed please assume that it's unmarked as is common with Native American jewelry of this era.
Bisbee Bob the jeweler was Robert Bradberry … His original shop was located in the Bisbee Grand Hotel. Later on he was located at two different addresses. He was convicted on drug chargers and served time. Later on he was arrested by the FBI who claimed he had illegally obtained Turquoise from the Lavender Pit mine. Turquois was seized from his shop. Charges were dropped but turquois was not returned. And that was the end of his days in Bisbee… You can verify this info on the net and with local newspaper archives. What I am not certain of is when he created the Anisazi Pottery pieces. I believe they were done in the mid to late 70’s. To my knowledge in the 60’s he was doing modern jewlery and Indian type jewlery. It was not until the 70’s that he started doing his signature pottery pieces.
