Vintage Navajo Sterling & Kingman Turquoise Bolo Tie — 30.9g
A bold piece of Navajo silversmithing built around a standout stone — a large bezel-set Kingman spiderweb turquoise cabochon in vivid sky blue with a tight, dramatic dark brown matrix that collectors specifically seek out. The oval sterling silver slide is crafted in classic Navajo tradition: twisted rope-wire bezel, a deeply stamped feather motif flanking the left, and a graceful scroll accent at the base. The oxidized finish throws the stamped detail work into sharp relief. Unmarked, but tested and confirmed sterling silver throughout.
The bolo is complete with sterling silver cone tips and a 36-inch braided leather cord. The two tips are visibly mismatched — consistent with a vintage period replacement — and disclosed as found. Tarnish and patina present; we'll leave the polishing to you. At 30.9 grams of sterling with a genuine Kingman spiderweb stone, the intrinsic value anchors a piece that's just as strong on the wrist or in a display case.
CONDITION
Good. The Kingman turquoise cabochon is secure in its bezel setting with no visible chips, cracks, or surface damage; the matrix is clean and well-defined.
