ITEM DESCRIPTION: THIS IS A RARE AND UNIQUE BRACELET. THE PAWN BROKER STATES IT IS NAVAJO – I HONESTLY THINK IT COULD BE HOPI BUT IT IS DEFINITELY ONE OR THE OTHER. I PERSONALLY HAVE NEVER SEEN A BRACELET MADE QUITE LIKE THIS ONE. ONE KNOWS THE SNAKES ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS BRACELET – CHECK OUT THE MARKINGS ON THE SNAKE’S SKIN – ALSO, BOTH TERMINAL ENDS DISPLAY A SNAKE HEAD LOOKING AT YOU WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE END; EVEN THE TURQUOISE HAS A SNAKE SKIN LOOK [ALTHOUGH IT IS SMOOTH, THE LOOK OF IT RESEMBLES SNAKE SKIN]. THE PAWN BROKER STATES HIS FATHER PURCHASED IT FROM IT\'S OWNER IN DENVER COLORADO IN THE 1960’s [which only adds more mystery to its origin]. SEVERAL TURQUOISE EXPERTS STATE IT IS OLD MOUNTAIN BOULDER TURQUOISE [I HONESTLY DO NOT KNOW, THAT IS WHY I SENT A PICTURE TO THREE EXPERTS]. THERE ARE SNAKE LIKE PICTOGRAMS ON THE INSIDE PLUS WHAT APPEARS TO BE SOMETHING WRITTEN; I AM NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT OUT. THIS ONE IS A KEEPER FOR SURE – I DOUBT YOU WILL SEE ANOTHER ONE. ENJOY NICE LOW BEGINNING offer.
