Description
This is a particularly fine bracelet from the early days of the Santa Fe Railroad, Fred Harvey Hotel and Trading Post period. Made in the 1930’s to be sold to travelers on the new highway or rail system running through the Southwest. Shops that produced multiple pieces of the familiar heavily stamped machined designs, employed local Native American artists to complete the work by setting stones and applying pre-stamped out ornaments. Each artisan was encouraged to use his or her own design patterns to create a large variety in which to choose from. I can’t express how remarkable this bracelet is; from the outstanding 5 deep green Cerrillos turquoise stones, to the wonderful stamping on the side terminals—this one has it all. There’s no artisan hallmark, but the slight irregularities in the stamping patterns and appliqué positioning, and even the stones being ever so slightly different in size, really speaks to its handcrafted nature.
Fred Harvey era jewelry is widely collected as an antique jewelry genre valued for its Southwest look and historic context.
This lovely 1940's bracelet features 5 greenish Cerrillos turquoise stones. This piece is aged with a wonderful soft patina. The overall integrity of the bracelet is excellent. The top width (stones & silver) is 1 1/4" wide tapering to 3/4" at the bottom terminals. The interior of the cuff measuring 5 3/8" with an opening gap of 1 1/8". Slightly adjustable.
