Jewelry made for tourists traveling in the American Southwest during the mid-20th century is characterized by elaborate stamp work and delicate settings. This style was popularized by the Fred Harvey Company which had hotels located along the railroad from Chicago to Los Angeles.
This bracelet is one of the finest examples of this style. Stamped flower-like frames surround each sky blue stone to highlight the beauty of each turquoise stone. The settings are perfectly fashioned and are set apart by silver drops. The stamp work on the sides is particularly well done. This one of a kind piece is an example of exceptional workmanship.
Condition: excellent condition
