This Navajo Nation bracelet was constructed by a Diné silversmith securing three silver bars with a silver plate at each end of the bracelet. Each silver bar has a raised edge in its center in carinated style. Heavy silver twisted wires were inserted between each of the silver bars. The silver bars are stamped with shark teeth impressions.

The bracelet is inscribed CRW on the inside, however, I have not been able to identify the Diné jeweler with those initials.
