Andrew Gordon, Bracelet, Turquoise Mountain, Stamping, Navajo Handmade, 6 3/8"

Heavy silver will always be an attribute associated with Navajo jewelry. It might be because in the Four Corners silver is money. The trade system is something that has been established here for centuries, and the more silver the better the trade. Navajo silversmith Andrew Gordon has taken a heavy half-round wire and filled it with stamp designs and a wonderful piece of American turquoise. This Kingman Turquoise stone shows off a water web matrix against a unique bluish green color.
