Description
6" Fred Guerro (1934-2020) Navajo tufa cast bracelet with turquoise. Great looking bracelet just a hair under 6" inside circumference. The bezel on this
piece is really great.
Fred was a master silversmith, selling his jewelry nationwide and with his
regular customers in Socorro, Alamogordo, and Gallup. He built houses, mostly
out of adobe mud, a skill that is becoming very rare.
Fred was also a skilled fence builder and travelled many miles to work for
ranchers across the state. Many nephews and relatives who travelled with him to
and fence building remember his stories, his humor, and jokes.
Fred was very hospitable by opening his home to many people who needed a place
to stay, needed a place to rehabilitate, and/or just needed to get it together.
He lived in Alamo most of his life, but also shortly in To’hajiilee, and
Socorro.
All precious metals are tested and guaranteed, any Native American jewelry
referred to as Silver or Sterling is guaranteed to be a minimum of 90% (coin)
silver and possibly higher content. Anything marked is guaranteed to be what
it's marked, most bracelets are photographed on a 6" wrist (non hairy), rings
photographed on the appropriate sized finger when possible. With bracelets if
the measurement is not given in the description then inside circumference is
shown where the metal meets the number on the the cloth tape measure.
