Bell Trading Post Sterling Silver Double Row Snake Eye Turquoise Cuff Bracelet

A striking vintage Bell Trading Post sterling silver cuff bracelet, showcasing twenty-four (24) round turquoise cabochons in the classic double-row “snake eye” design. Each turquoise stone, approximately 3.4 mm in diameter, is bezel-set with finely detailed silver beading and bordered by traditional stamp work along the outer bands. The bracelet bears the Bell Trading Post hallmark and STERLING mark on the interior, confirming its authenticity and mid-century Southwestern craftsmanship.

Founded in 1932 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Bell Trading Post became a hallmark of Route 66 Americana, offering finely crafted silver jewelry inspired by Navajo and Zuni traditions. Their work blended hand-stamped artistry with workshop precision, creating timeless pieces that captured the romance and spirit of the desert Southwest. This bracelet embodies that enduring heritage with vibrant turquoise and graceful symmetry.
