Old Pawn Bracelets
These are the REAL, REAL old pawn, or "dead" pawn bracelets, most date pre-1950's. (Please read our article on what old pawn jewelry is.) This is jewelry made by Native American Indians, for Native American Indians by Zuni and Navajo silversmiths. At that time they did not sign or stamp their jewelry, however a few of our pieces have initials scratched into them .
We have done our best to photograph them in such as way as to best represent the genuine color of the turquoise. However, due to the differences in computer monitors, the colors many vary some from the actual color.
Please bear in mind that the majority of turquoise stones contain intrusions from the host rock material and the presence of other minerals that give each stone its own unique character and color. This is what is called matrix. For many of us, matrix is a desirable quality that contributes to the over-all beauty of turquoise.
How to determine if a bracelet will fit: We have included the circumference of the bracelet and the wrist opening separately. These are beautiful bracelets, but they are antique and therefore will not allow for much adjustment. It is best to measure your wrist with a piece of string to determine what size you need.
Please read our return policy before you order.
The proper way to put on a American Indian made silver cuff bracelet is to slide the bracelet on sideways from the inside of your wrist, then turn the bracelet so that it faces up. Take it off the same way by turning it and sliding it off the outside of your wrist. This method does not stress the silver.
