<p>[QUOTE="smallaxe, post: 2007806, member: 13430"]This bracelet was in my mother's jewelry box as long as I can remember (early 1960's). She said her brother gave it to her as a gift. My memory is that she said she got it before she was married. That would put it in the time period of the late 1930's to the early 1950's. I've always thought it was crudely made and figured it was inexpensive, Mexican faux Navajo jewelry. They didn't have money for nice things, so I'm sure it was not expensive when purchased. I'm not even sure the stone is turquoise, as it's more green than blue, and mostly featureless. But I know nothing about jewelry, so I'm hoping someone here can tell me what is likely is. I've searched high and low very closely and find no marks at all.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]248106[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]248107[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]248108[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]248109[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
