Description
Navajo Native American sterling silver and malachite cuff bracelet featuring a large unique cabochon oval malachite set in a sawtooth bezel inside a rope frame with an hand etched outer frame. The band of the cuff is a 4 split open sterling knife edge design.
Marks include sterling and "BEGAY". There are many Navajo Begay silversmiths, I was unable to pin point which one this is.
Interior of the cuff measures 5 3/4" with an additional 1.25 " gap for a total circumference of 7". Sterling Silver is relatively malleable, thus this cuff is slightly adjustable.
Width measures 2.66" straight across the widest part (from wrist bone to wrist bone).
Bracelet face measures 1.8" tall (the face of the bracelet, north to south).
Bracelet depth from top to the underside of wrist is 2.15".
