The sky blue Morenci turquoise in this bracelet displays an exceptional spread of copper matrix.  The large center stone is flanked with three smaller ones on its ends.  The silver shank is comprised of two wide silver bands fencing in two round twisted silver wires.  The bracelet is stamped with a V and the word Sterling.  The artisan has not been identified.

 

Condition:  the bracelet is in original excellent condition.  I would estimate it to date to the 1960s.

 

Provenance:  from a gentleman in Florida.
