Hopi Overlay Thunderbird or Eagle Sterling Silver & Turquoise Cuff Bracelet Native American - Vintage
This cuff is as bold as it is beautiful. My first thought when I saw it was that it's a Thunderbird. However, knowing how important eagles are to Hopi culture, more than likely it is an eagle. Either way, it's a powerful image. The silver is traditional Hopi overlay on an etched base. The turquoise in the center is set in a hand cut bezel. This cuff weighs a hefty 102 grams on my postal scale. This is a vintage piece and is unsigned.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Protect your jewelry from harsh chemicals and solvents as they can damage turquoise and other stones. I recommend using a Sunshine Cloth or similar to polish your silver. Do not immerse or subject your jewelry to running water as it can dislodge the stone from the setting.
