Elegant Vintage Native American Navajo Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Sterling Silver Bracelet

Here we have a glamorous vintage Navajo bracelet featuring a Sleeping Beauty turquoise stone!
The Sleeping Beauty turquoise mine, located in Globe, Arizona, has gained legendary status in the world of turquoise mining. Renowned for its pure, vibrant blue color, this mine has produced some of the most sought-after turquoise for generations. The name "Sleeping Beauty" is derived from the mine's location in the Sleeping Beauty Mountain range. The turquoise from this mine is cherished for its consistent, robin's egg blue hue, often devoid of any matrix or veining. Its uniform color and smooth texture make it highly desirable for jewelry making. The Sleeping Beauty mine was in operation for several decades, and its turquoise became a staple in Native American and Southwestern jewelry designs. Although the mine ceased production in 2012, the legacy of the Sleeping Beauty turquoise lives on, as its distinct beauty continues to captivate collectors, artisans, and turquoise enthusiasts worldwide.
The bracelet also features hand carved silver leaves, a silver bead, and a solid silver cuff! The center stone measures around 5/8" x 3/8". The width of the bracelet measures around 1". Sterling silver. The inside end to end measures around 5-1/8" with an additional 1-1/2" gap. Sturdy 16 grams. Cir Mid Century +
