Navajo inlaid bracelets are a type of jewelry that is intricately crafted by Navajo artisans. The Navajo people are Native Americans who reside primarily in the southwestern United States, particularly in the states of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. They are renowned for their exceptional skills in creating silver and turquoise jewelry, including inlaid bracelets. Inlaid bracelets feature a technique where small pieces of stone or other materials are carefully set into a metal base, usually silver. The stones are precisely cut and shaped to fit together seamlessly, creating a beautiful mosaic-like design. Traditionally, Navajo inlaid bracelets incorporate turquoise, coral, mother-of-pearl, and various types of shells. However, contemporary pieces may also include other gemstones like lapis lazuli, malachite, or onyx. The process of making Navajo inlaid bracelets involves several steps. First, the artisan creates a silver base for the bracelet, often using the overlay or channel technique. The base is then meticulously filed, sanded, and polished to achieve a smooth surface. Next, the artist carefully cuts and shapes the stones to fit the desired pattern. The stones are then set into the channels or recesses of the silver base, secured using adhesive or by hammering the metal edges to hold them in place. Finally, the entire piece is polished and finished to enhance its beauty. Navajo inlaid bracelets are highly regarded for their craftsmanship, intricate designs, and vibrant colors. They are often characterized by geometric patterns, intricate motifs, or symbols inspired by Navajo culture and nature. These bracelets are not only valued as beautiful pieces of jewelry but also as expressions of Navajo art and cultural heritage. The width of the bracelet measures around 2-1/4". Sterling silver. Cir. Mid century . The inside end to end measures around 5-3/4" with an additional 1" gap. Sturdy 161 grams.
