This is American Indian jewelry art at its absolute finest!

This Turquoise Navajo Indian Coral Silver Bracelet is a real work of art! This bracelet uniquely features a nugget of genuine Sleeping Beauty turquoise, “Tiffany of Turquoise” and genuine coral. Turquoise jewelry is stylish for its color and elegance and this top-of-the-line turquoise and coral appears against the brilliance of sterling silver. Large sterling silver feather figures, hand-made sterling silver dots, and hand-twisted sterling silver wires give this fine piece of turquoise jewelry beautiful details. Turquoise and coral nuggets may slightly vary; however the photo is an excellent representation of the one-of-a-kind piece of hand-made American Indian jewelry you'll receive.

There are four types of precious coral in Hawaii: black coral (Antipathidae), gold coral (Parazoanthidae), red or pink coral (Corallidae) and bamboo coral. Each of these has a different internal composition. Red and pink corals produce a calcite skeleton similar in hardness to ivory and pearls. Bamboo corals, on the other hand, produce a skeleton composed partially of calcite and partially of protein that is similar to the keratin in your fingernails. These alternating bands of material resemble a bamboo stalk; thus the corals' name.
In Hawaii, black corals are found in 100-300 ft. of water which is shallow enough to harvest using scuba equipment. Many harvesters, however, have died in pursuit of coral trees at the deep end of this range. Red, gold and bamboo coral are found between 1,000 and 1,500 ft; so harvesting is conducted with remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) or submarines.
