The Navajo Arts and Crafts Guild organized in 1941 in Ft. Wingate, New Mexico, and started as a co-op in Pine Springs, Arizona, in 1942, the Navajo Arts and Crafts Guild is wholly owned by the Navajo Nation and has been creating jewelry, arts, and crafts for over 70 years. Some of the silversmiths that helped form the guild were, Ambrose Roanhorse, Chester Yellowhair and Fred Peshlakai. Now silversmiths had a marketplace to share their acquired skills. In the 1944 book, “The Navajo and Pueblo Silversmiths”, John Adair writes, “The type of silverware that the guild promotes is […] a revival of the old simple types of jewelry, without sets for the most part. Emphasis is placed on cast work.

The bracelet measures 5/8" wide. It has very unique stamp work, with small triangle stamped on each side of the center peak of the bracelet. It has a soft patina from age of the silver and a nice heavy weight. There is some slight wear on the silver.

Inside measures 5 3/8" with a 7/8" opening. Slightly adjustable. The piece is hallmarked with the official Horned Moon, Guilds mark and 925. There is also an ADD etched mark. Looks beautiful on!
