Native American Vintage Heishe Bead Necklace
PRICE: $185.00
| This vintage Native American Heishe necklace is very old in nature. This was a buy about 3 years ago in a pawn shop bordering on the edge of the Navajo Nation's in Winslow , Arizona. First of all, I really believe the Heishe Beads are of Stabilized Turquoise. It would be almost impossible for me to tell , but it is always safer to assume that then to state they are natural. They are graduated from the largest being about 1/2'' in diameter to the smallest at the top ends to be about 1/4'' in diameter . Entire necklace is about 25'' in length, including the hook and latch. I think but cannot test that the silver beads and bells and whatnot are Sterling Silver. They are strung on what appears to be older waxed string of some sort. No problems of any kind visible to the naked eye. Great eye-catching Necklace. Thanks for your interest Item ID: KK-120 |
| This massive Link-Cuff Bracelet is a vintage piece I acquired about a year ago , over in a pawn shop in Winslow , Arizona. It is massive to say the least. Weighs in at about 150 grams !. It is 7 inches long for a 7'' wrist and is not adjustable. It measures about 1-3/4'' wide in the center, very heavy Sterling Silver, Tested, with 4 natural Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Nuggets total about 1/2'' x 3/8'' in size . Al;so 4 small 1/8'' diameter pieces of Red Corral, one of witch is the release for the locking mechanism on the link bracelet itself. Quite a clever design. It is signed by the artist "CT" but at this point unknown who it is . The watch itself, would need to be replaced as it does not work. Overall size of the watch is 1-3/8'' in diameter and again, does NOT work. Thanks for your interest in this incredible watch cuff bracelet. Item ID: kk-162 |
Navajo Made Heavy Man's Silver,Turquoise , Red Corral Watch Cuff Bracelet
PRICE: $375.00
Vintage Navajo Cuff-Watch Sterling Silver ,Turquoise Bracelet
PRICE: $228.00
| This vintage Navajo bracelet is one which I recently picked up in a pawn shop bordering the edge of the Navajo Nation. It is a much older piece, I would think from the early to mid 60's. The watch is JUNK and does NOT work, but easily replaced with a newer version. Watch measures about 1-1/4'' long (which is where it mounts) and about 1'' wide. Bracelet measures about 5-1/4'' on the inside of the band, and an additional opening of about 1'' giving you a wrist size of about 6-1/4'' Could easily be spread or closed to give you a more comfortable fit. Turquoise tear-drop cabs (39 total) are each about 1'8'' x 1/4'' in size. The round Turquoise stones of which there are 6 total are all about 1/8'' diameter. Not signed or any markings . Not unusual for these vintage pieces of Jewelry by the Navajo's. Not cleaned, as to leave the decision to keep the patina up to you. Thanks for your interest in this beautiful cluster watch cuff.

Vintage Navajo Concho - Concha Belt. Never Worn Like New
PRICE: $450.00
| This is a truly great find. I have had this belt for a couple of years now, but had not decided on whether I wanted to keep it for myself or sell it. I have come to the realization that I really need the money so alas, i must sell it. My loss your gain. It came from a Pawn Shop in Winslow Arizona which borders the Navajo Nation. Most of the pawn people there are truly Native Americans who need money especially in the winter. Enough said. The fantastic belt . It is about 38'' long. It cannot have been ever worn as there has never been a single hole punched in the belt to buckle it. There are 10 conchos not counting the buckle. When looking closely, you can see that they are all hand made, and not punched out on a machine. Hammer and punch marks show on the reverse . 2-3/4'' x 2-1/2'' size, but slightly variable as they are again, hand made. One stone of Turquoise each about 3/8'' x 1/4'' and again slightly variable in size. Looks to be Royston Turquoise. The buckle is not signed but when looking at the pictures you will see the back of the buckle which does have a name on it. Permanent marker type, and most likely the person who owned this rather then the maker. Marked like this for identification to get back out of pawn at a later date. The buckle is about 3'' x 2-1/2'', which is also totally hand made as again you can see all the hand tooling marks. Someone had spend a terrific amount of time in making this entirely from scratch other then the soft brown leather belt itself, which is about 1-1/4'' wide. Thanks for your interest in this truly amazing one of a kind belt. Will be accompanied with a C.O.A And yes, it is sterling, I just tested it to be positive. Thanks again Item # kk-201 |
Vintage Navajo Watch Turquoise Silver Cuff Bracelet
| This is probably the oldest piece I have to date, from somewhere in the mid-60's It has 44 stones total, of which 42 of them are about 1/8'' x 3/8'' in the teardrop pattern and then two of which (one on each wing) are 1/8'' diameter. This Watch Cuff Bracelet measures about 5-1/4'' on the inside of the band with an additional 1-1/4'' opening giving you a total wrist size of about 6-1/2''. Not much room for any adjustment. The base and bands are made of sterling Silver (tested) and the Turquoise appears to be all natural. The Watch which is 1'' diameter and1-1/4'' from mount to mount, is NO GOOD. It is there as it came with the cuff. Main mount is about 2-3/4'' across and about 2'' top to bottom. Wings are about 1-1/4'' wide x 1'' long each. Stamped "HY" which could be one of the Yazzies, not sure. Thanks for your interest in this very nice older Watch Cuff Item ID: kk-174 |
PRICE: $228.00

Vintage Navajo Baby Turquoise and Sterling & Turquoise Cuff Bracelet
| This is a vintage cute little cuff bracelet just like mommies, that is very well made, but older piece of the S.W. History. It measures about 4-1/8'' inside the band with an additional 5/8'' opening which will give you a wrist size of about 4-3/4'' total. Now this bracelet not having any "wings" is very easily adjusted by carefully bending the outer bands and therefore should allow it to fit for a few years or so. It has a total of 15 stones, of which 14 are about 1/8'' x 1/4'' and the center stone is about 1/8'' diameter. The main body is about 1'' x 2'' overall. Not signed in any way, but not unusual for the older vintage pieces. Thanks for your interest in this really well made cute little baby cuff bracelet Item ID: kk-173 |
Navajo Native American, Malachite, Sterling Silver Signed Cuff Bracelet
PRICE: $118.00
| This vintage Native American cuff bracelet, is a really unique piece of Southwestern Navajo jewelry. It is about 30 years old, and features a large hand polished natural stone of what I believe to be malachite with black matrix. No lines like you would normally see, but it does check out in the mineral books. The stone itself measures about 1-1/4'' tall by 7/8'' wide. It is mounted in a sterling silver full wrap mount, and fixed to the band which is quite thick. The band measures about 5-1/4'' along the inside with an additional opening of 7/8'', giving you a total size of approximately 6-12/8''. But being silver, this could very easily be spread gently or closed as necessary. It has been signed M.Lee and Sterling. I have of course polished the silver, as I cannot stand to wear dirty jewelry myself. I know a lot of people like the patina as such, but considering the patina truly is just dirt, I do like to remove it. Thank you for your interest in this unique and very nice older piece of Navajo history. Item ID: kk-63 |
