1960’s unsigned bracelet made with heavy twisted silver wire decoration and set with a classic large piece of Morenci turquoise. It is a smashing piece of jewelry, obviously made by a master silversmith. A real value at $1800.00. Size 6 3/4 inches.
This is a piece from the 1960’s that is signed “Phil T.” We have not yet been able to identify the silversmith, which is unfortunate as he was a real artist. The turquoise in this bracelet is absolutely beautiful, high grade Bisbee. Stones of this quality are very rare and expensive today and are seldom found in jewelry. They are usually traded and sold by the carat to collectors. There are 15 absolutely beautiful stones in this finely crafted bracelet. Size 6 1/2 inches.
Mark Chee was an active Navajo silversmith from 1930 through the 60’s. He did work for Frank Patania Sr., a famous Italian silversmith who had the Thunderbird shop in Santa Fe, for Al Packard (who was the founder of Packard’s in Santa Fe) and for the Waddell family that owns the Lone Mountain Turquoise Mine. His simple and elegant silver work with beautiful stones were unmatched by any Navajo Silversmith of his era. This piece is set with a large green stone that has small windows of bright blue coming through. One turquoise collector at the Marin Show in California felt that the piece was probably early Kingman Turquoise as he had seen the same color in samples from that mine. Who knows? It is beautiful and a true collector’s piece. Size 6 5/8 inches.
