Description
 

This beautiful bracelet features a very beautiful natural turquoise leaf that was hand carved by renowned Zuni artist, Leekya Deyuse. We believe Jerry Watson did the silver work. Jerry worked for C.G. Wallace and was known to collaborate with Leekya. The turquoise is from one of the early finds of the Herget mine in Arizona that was once owned and operated, by C.G. Wallace. The lovely design of the bracelet with the soft green leaf looks beautiful on!

The leaf measures 1” long by 5/8” wide. The leaf is set in a smooth bezel, with a unique silver framed edging. There are 2 side panels, with fine stamping around each repousse. The hand hammered shanks are also deeply stamped at the side and bottom of the terminals. The inside measures 5 3/8” with a 1 1/8” opening. The previous owner took amazing care of this piece, as it is in excellent condition with a soft patina on the entire bracelet.
