Vintage sterling, turquoise and coral men's bracelet by Ray Adakai, Navajo

Description

This heavy gauge and striking sterling silver turquoise men's bracelet was created by Ray Adakai, Navajo. The bracelet is approximately 6 1/8" inside plus a 1 3/8" opening and is approximately 3/4" in width. This is a beautiful, substantial bracelet weighing approximately 91.6 total grams. The turquoise stone is approximately 3/8" x 5/8" and there is repousse and stamping on the bracelet. The entire inside of the bracelet is heavily stamped and signed by Ray (took a few minutes to find but it is there).
Ray Adakai is Navajo and comes from a family of silversmiths and jewelers. His artwork "provides an avenue to highlight the ruggedness and traditional jewelry from yesteryear" in hope that it captures his "commitment and enthusiasm in honoring Navajo silversmiths."
