Navajo Indian Jewelry - C3789BRecycling in the Native jewelry business is a relatively new procedure.  It consists of taking very high quality turquoise stones from a tab necklace and repurposing them in another item of jewelry, overlooking the drill holes as being detrimental.

 

Much of the early turquoise jewelry had very high quality desirable turquoise.  The stones used in older nugget necklaces were sometimes drilled off center, as are the two stones on the outer edges of this bracelet.  The center stone was drilled in its center. The combination of the three stones is perfect for this bracelet.
