Sterling Silver & Petrified Wood Agate Navajo Indian Bracelet Fred Harvey Era

Description

Being offered is a vintage, Navajo Indian crafted jewelry bracelet.  This is bracelet is from the early tourist trade to the southwest known as the Fred Harvey era.  The bracelet has the classic die stamped markings as part of the design.  The workmanship and design on this bracelet is amazing.  Each ray emanating from the stone setting has tiny, hand hammered, design running up and down each ray.  This must have taken awhile as each die stamped mark was individually hand punched.  The stone is made of petrified wood, coming more from the center of the tree rather than the reddish outer portion.  The bracelet is in good condition.  The stone setting is approx. 1 7/16" by 7/16".  The entering setting portion is approx. 2 1/4" by 1 1/2".  The inside circumference is approx. 6 3/4" including the back opening, and the back opening is approx. 1 7/16".  The bracelet weighs approx. 57.2 grams.  Insurance is included in the SH price.
The Fred Harvey Era was during the start of the early tourist travel to the southwest.
This started the demand for Native American Indian jewelry in the tourist trade.
Fred Harvey set up hotels and motels along cities and train depots to service the travelers.
Natives Indians set-up stands and tables to sell their wares to travelers or those just having a rest stop while on the train.
Later, roads like Route 66 became the main travel route for vacationers, so tourist shops and trading posts sprung up all along the Mother Road (Route 66).
Fred Harvey jewelry was always unsigned except for an occasional piece and is the most collected Indian jewelry today.
The designs and styles are unmistakable for Fred Harvey era jewelry.
