One rectangle and two square multi-colored Arizona petrified wood stones make this circa 1930s bracelet a "must have" piece. Somehow the artist has managed to find stones that mirror the desert homeland so important to the Diné (Navajo) people. If the owner had to travel away from the sacred mountains of the Diné, all he or she would have to do is look at the bracelet and see the landscape in the stones.

The three unique stones are beautifully set into ingot silver, split-chisel cuff with silver drop bezels. On the side the unknown artist has stamped thunderbirds, arrows and flower-like designs that add a sense of beauty and balance for which Diné silversmiths are known. This collector's item would make a wonderful addition to any collection.
