Description

Vintage Navajo Sterling Silver Turquoise & Coral Bolo Tie – Signed

This vintage Navajo bolo tie showcases traditional craftsmanship in sterling silver, featuring a beautifully detailed design accented with vibrant turquoise and red coral stones. The bolo slide is masterfully adorned with a raised silver feather, traditional beadwork, and hand-tooled details, creating a striking contrast against the oxidized background.

The large, polished green turquoise stone exhibits natural matrix patterns, while the deep red coral cabochon provides a bold complementary accent. The piece is signed by Roy Vanilever (DMN KT), adding to its authenticity and collectibility.

The braided black leather cord is finished with sterling silver tips, tapering to a refined point with geometric detailing, enhancing the bolo’s Western aesthetic. A perfect statement piece for collectors of Native American jewelry, Western wear, or those who appreciate handcrafted artistry.
