Featured in this lot is this sterling silver and white buffalo turquoise bracelet from Navajo artist Boyd JK. Ashley. The bracelet shows a unique, extremely rare, heavy sterling silver framework with a beautiful stamped underside, a wonderful oval cut example of white buffalo turquoise (including a total of five stones), a twisted rope border, and embossed sterling silver turquoise, which shows wonderful spider webbing to the stones. The artist’s hallmark is shown on the underside of the bracelet with a 'sterling' stamp above the hallmark. White Buffalo, also known as White Buffalo Turquoise, is a gemstone that is mined in Tonopah, Nevada by the Otteson family. It was presumed to be turquoise and was often sold as such; however, its classification is magnesite and alumite. It has been popularized as White Turquoise. The condition of this bracelet is pristine, with no obvious signs of damage. The measurements of this bracelet are 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" x 1 3/8" and the circumference is 5 1/2". The collective weight of this bracelet is 214.9g. The piece was previously listed over $4,000 and is one of the most impressive and weighted cuffs we have ever offered or seen.
