Presented in this lot is a 1940s Fred Harvey Era Turquoise Concho Link Belt. Comprised of tooled, stamped, and scalloped oval Nickel Silver conchos and Cripple Creek turquoise cabochons, with a larger rectangular sterling concho buckle and Cripple Creek turquoise cabochon. Intricate detailing on both the conchos and the connecting "butterflies". Fred Harvey era jewelry design showcases Southwestern motifs and symbols that appealed to the influx of tourists that were flocking to the region in the early 20th century. These motifs defined the Fred Harvey style that is still coveted today by vintage collectors and continues to influence modern Southwestern jewelry artisans. Fred Harvey jewelry is vintage Southwestern jewelry made by The Fred Harvey Company in the first half of the twentieth century. Sold in the company’s “Harvey House” restaurants and hotels, this jewelry was manufactured for the tourist trade that flooded into the American Southwest with the advent of the Santa Fe Railroad. It is lightweight and embellished with designs that had a Southwest look, such as thunderbirds, lightning bolts, crossed arrows and arrowheads, dogs and snakes. This concho link belt is in good overall condition, a uniform rich patina is seen throughout, no marring noted. Small conchos measure 1.5" x 2"L each, oval "butterflies" measure .5"W x .75"L, buckle is 2"W x 2.5"L, overall length is 31.5"L
