photo is an excellent example of the one-of-a-kind hand-made bracelet
you'll receive.
Since about 200 B.C., Turquoise has been extensively used by southwestern
U.S. Native Americans and by many of the Indian tribes in Mexico. The
Native American Jewelry or "Indian style" jewelry with Turquoise
mounted in or with silver is relatively new. Some believe this style of
jewelry was unknown prior to approximately 1880, when a white trader persuaded
a Navajo craftsman to make Turquoise and silver jewelry using coin silver.
Prior to this time, the Native Americans had made solid turquoise beads,
carvings, and inlaid mosaics. Recently, Turquoise has found wide acceptance
among people of all walks of life and from many different ethnic groups.
We understand the true value and nature of hand crafted Indian art. And,
we recognize it's important to know that the artist is truly a member
of a Native American tribe. So, to ensure you that this is the real deal,
a Certificate of Authenticity has been included with this item.
