The hand stamped decorations include arrows, teepees, thunderbirds, sun face symbols, rain and ceremonial headdresses. The natural, petit point and round flat cabochon turquoise stones are in very good vintage condition with a few marginal age chips or cracks. All stones are firmly and securely set in smooth silver bezels surrounded by silver raindrops and silver rope on an oxidized (blackened) ground. The petit point stones measure approx. 5/16" long x 1/8" wide and the round central stone is approx.

The split band cuff bracelet measures approx. 1 1/16" tapering to 1/4" wide. The interior circumference of the cuff is approx.

7" TOTAL including a 1 1/2" opening. The cuff has some flexibility and weighs 26.5 grams.
