This bracelet came out of the inventory of a trading post that closed in Sedona, Arizona. It still has the original tags and is in unworn, new condition. It has been beautifully crafted by Navajo silversmith France (Francis) Yazzie. At first look the inlay is black onyx, but looked at from the side under magnification the color is deep brown. The inlay has been expertly crafted and is very smooth to the touch. The bracelet width is 3/8. The bracelet size is 5 1/8″ around the inside plus an additional 1 1/8″ opening at the back for a total of 6 1/4 around. The bracelet weighs 23.2 grams. This bracelet is signed with the artist’s F hallmark and marked sterling. It is in new and unworn condition. Most of these pawn shops and trading posts are now closed. The Native American would pawn his jewelry for immediate cash. The shop would hold it and charge interest until he could reclaim it. Dead pawn are the pieces that were never retrieved. Old Pawn Jewelry typically dates from the early 1900s to the 1970s. Most of the early pieces are not signed because it wasn’t the Native American tradition to sign the pieces they crafted. Also, the turquoise in old pawn is turquoise that you can’t get anymore because many of the mines have closed. And, the red and orange coral is rare because of the coral bleaching which is happening today. We guarantee all of our Native American Indian items to be AUTHENTIC American Indian traditional arts.
