Navajo Turquoise and Coral Bracelet

Sterling silver cuff bracelet with Kingman turquoise and coral by an award-winning Navajo silversmith Francis Jones (1944 - ). Four stones surrounded by traditional leaf, floral, bead and hand stamped palmette design. Stamped "Sterling" and maker's mark "FJ". Francis has been a silversmith since she was a young girl. She learned from her family – especially her father, who is a fourth-generation silversmith. Her family was among the first to use sand casting, and Francis combines this technique with other, unique styles for which she is known today.
