Silver Native American Overlaid Cuff Bracelet
Accessories can make or break an outfit, and it’s always fun to try something new. If you enjoy wearing unique jewelry you should consider Native American silver bracelets as a way to spice up your wardrobe.
Native American silver bracelets come in a variety of styles. The style is usually indicative of the tribe who created it. Some of the tribes that are well known for their sterling silver creations include the Cherokee, Hopi, Zuni, and the Navajo. Each tribe has a unique design, but all of these bracelets are made of durable sterling silver and are intended to last a lifetime.
Some of the details that make Native American silver bracelets unique are the intricate designs and carvings that are incorporated into the silver. Some bracelets also have gold bands to add to their appeal. Native American silver bracelets can be seen in bangle or banded style.
Another common trait of Native American silver bracelets is the use of special stones to set them apart. Turquoise and malachite are commonly found in all types of Native American jewelry. Coral, opal, lapis, and onyx are also popular stones in Native American silver bracelets. These stones are often arranged in a mosaic style pattern. Sugelite is a mineral that is purple in color and has been used in Native American jewelry since the 1970’s. It is not considered a precious stone, but compliments the aesthetics of the bracelets.
The amount of money you spend on the Native American silver bracelet depends heavily on which style you choose. The more simple bracelets might sell for around $100. However, the more intricate designs might cost $1000. Also, keep in mind that some places that sell Native American jewelry might allow you to request a custom made silver bracelet, which will be more expensive than a generic version.
