CALVIN MARTINEZ Vintage Navajo Coral Cuff Bracelet 114 Grams RARE

June 9, 2020 by admin · Comments Off

T his listing features an extremely important and valuable cuff bracelet made by one of the most famous Navajo Artists of all time. This heavy gauge red coral cuff was made by the esteemed, and highly valued Navajo master silversmith, Calvin Martinez. This traditional revivalist bracelet features 13 high grade red coral cabochons. Martinez is known for using only the finest of natural stones in his work and this piece truly shows it. Each coral piece resides in extremely fine-etched sawtooth bezels and lay perfectly spaced apart with just 1 millimeter between them. This tiny gap between the stones allow for the dark oxidized silver to show through and add depth, truly making the coral pop. Martinez added more depth and dimension with raised silver droplets that rest between each coral stone running down each side of the cuff. Each silver droplet is perfectly hand poured and of the exact same size. Moving along towards the gap each side of the cuff portrays detailed traditional hand stamped designs that extend from the corals to each end of the cuff. This bracelet is extremely heavy, thick, and solid. It weighs a total of 114 grams! The gap is somewhat small compared to the inner circumference but can be sized to fit the wrist simply by applying pressure to the ends. At its present state the cuff would fit a 6 wrist with out falling off due to the gap being only 1 wide. It would however slide up and down the arm. This cuff would also fit a larger wrist of 7-1/2 but it would need to be adjusted by opening the gap up slightly. So whether you have a small wrist of 6 or a larger wrist of 7 -7.5, this cuff could work for you. Just know that if your wrist is larger then the gap it will need to be widened either by you or a jeweler. The back is polished in style, and bears the hallmark C. MTZ” in an arrowhead which is the Hallmark for “Calvin Martinez. The inside is stamped “sterling” as well. This fantastic museum quality piece hand made by Martinez is sure to not disappoint. The design is simple yet stunningly beautiful with the most beautiful silver work and it doesnt have that overly large gaudy look…. Its a very well thought out solid piece…. This piece will make a great addition to any existing Native American collection and will be passed down for generations. Cherish and enjoy this gorgeous bracelet today…. And hand it down to your loved ones in the future. I will entertain reasonable offers… Lets make a deal! Weight – 114 Grams. Inner Circumference end to end – 6-3/8. Gap/Opening – just a smidgen under 1 (31/32). Total size of inner cuff including gap – 7-3/8. Width of cuff – 5/8. Thickness/Depth of cuff – the silver alone is 1/8 thick, the silver and the stones have a depth of 1/4. Coral Stones measure – 1/2 long by 5/16 wide.

Vintage Navajo RARE Morenci Turquoise/Sterling Squash Blossom Necklace 179 grams

April 20, 2020 by admin · Comments Off

Morenci Turquoise Squash Blossom Necklace Handcrafted Navajo Treasure. Authentic and Absolutely Beautiful. Total of 17 Morenci Turquoise Cabochons in ornate bezel settings – note the twisted rope handwork and eyelash imprinting on the settings. Crescent Naja has 7 Stunning Cabochons set in Ornate Sterling Bezels – the cabs are wonderfully balanced and complementary. Large Turquoise stones – some 1 in X 1 in and others 1 in X. These are high grade cabs that have been backed for durability. The black portions under the stone (visible in Naja photo) are not some sort of filler. These portions are evidence of a backing epoxy, which is regularly used for higher grade Turquoise, since it is normally found in smaller seams within its host stone. 10 Sterling Squash Blossoms set in double rows of handcrafted sterling beads. Top six inches are single-strand sterling beads. Sides of beaded strand each have 5 Morenci Turquoise cabochons in sterling bezels. This gem was recently discovered in a retired jewelers closet when moving. This unique turquoise is so special because it can no longer be mined. Color of Turquoise is high to light blue in color with an unusual matrix of black pyrite and QUARTZ, which is rare. You can see portions in matrix which look like high polished silver, which is a hallmark of Morenci. These stones are a. Beautiful, beautiful blue that is very hard to capture in photos. Some of the stones actually seem to have a Blinding Glow from within. This is one of the most unique Native American pieces that I have ever laid eyes on… Nothing has been touched or cleaned! It is lovely as is…. One bead has small ding. Because it was in storage for so many years and not worn, the silver doesnt have the patina of those that were worn frequently and exposed. But this does not mean it was polished. No stone damage and any inclusions are natural… Clasp has hook and is well enforced for weight. Weight is 179 g.
