Created with a traveling adventurer in mind with a more delicate esthetic, this bracelet features an amazing small blue turquoise which is surrounded with small silver drops and elaborate twisted wire. The shank is stamped with a sun design and a stylized rattlesnake motif. According to the Fred Harvey House postcards, which identified meanings for the stamps, the snake is a symbol of wisdom and the sun is a symbol of life. The turquoise in this bracelet is especially beautiful, with a mixture of deep greenish blue to a light sky blue. It was made during the mid-20th Century, but looks as if it was never worn.
Condition: The Fred Harvey Bracelet with Small Oval Blue Stone is in excellent condition
Provenance: From a Colorado Southwest Indian Jewelry collection
