This classic Tahe Navajo sterling silver cuff bracelet has been beautifully crafted. It is made of thick sterling silver and weighs 3.1 ounces or 86 grams. The cuff is 1 3/8 wide. The bracelet measures 5 1/4″ around the inside plus an additional 1 5/8″ opening at the back for a total of 6 7/8 around. This cuff is signed with Verna and Franklin’s “Tahe” hallmark and marked sterling. This wonderful classic Tahe bracelet is in excellent vintage condition. For Navajo artist Verna Tahe, meeting her husband Franklin at Tohatchi High School was the beginning of a marriage not only of two people, but also of art. Verna and Franklin Tahe work in a style that the couple learned from Franklin Tahe’s late grandfather. Today their collaborative artistry is well-known and their pieces are coveted by customers all over the world. Verna reminds buyers that each piece of jewelry is unique, a machine doesn’t have feelings. We put our mind, our effort, our heart into it… This is the true value of a handcrafted piece of jewelry. 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. To see more vintage Native American jewelry.
