For sale, we have an absolutely gorgeous Genuine Turquoise Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet.
We believe this piece to be Vintage American Navajo handmade jewelry. The hallmark is JMC with a rising sun over it, and is unidentified after our research. The large turquoise stone most closely resembles Carico Lake turquoise, however the seldom seen color Ocean Green with Blue Tint underlines is truly Magnificent. The absence of distinctive webbing is also very unique and difficult to perfectly identify. It is a beautiful gradient sea green with blue undertones and yellow/ brown webbing! Our Computer screen presents a heavier blue tone but to the eye much one sees a unique sea green with all the other colors mentioned. The patina finished silver in the bracelet is extremely intricate featuring leaves and squash blossoms unique to native jewelry, as well as, ropes and swirling details. Grab this fashionable piece today either for yourself, or a loved one! No matter who ends up owning this fantastic item, they are guaranteed to absolutely adore it!
Turquoise, the captivating stone of the ancients, represents wisdom, tranquility, protection, good fortune, and hope. Ancient peoples believed in its profound power to protect, as well as its tranquil energy and its association with enduring love.
The Carico Lake mine is named after the dried up lake bed in Nevada where this unique material is mined. The mine produces a wide variety of turquoise ranging in color from dark blues to light greens, some with yellow or dark blue "water" webbing.
Being a lake bed, the mine also produces rare and highly collectible clam pseudo-morphs: ancient clam fossils in which the turquoise filled the natural cavities of the shells. Over the years, Carico Lake has also been sold under the names Aurora and Stone Cabin turquoise under previous owners. Today the claim is owned by Ernie Montoya of Albuquerque, NM and is actively being mined.
