Description

Vintage Navajo Sterling Silver & Turquoise Bolo Tie with Braided Leather Cord

This vintage Navajo bolo tie features a large, natural turquoise stone set in sterling silver, embodying the timeless artistry of Navajo silversmiths. The turquoise stone, measuring 64.67 mm x 36.16 mm, is securely held within a hand-crafted sterling silver bezel. Complemented by a braided leather cord, this piece captures the rugged beauty and elegance of the Southwest.

  • Materials: Sterling Silver, Turquoise, Leather
  • Unmarked, Tested Sterling Silver
  • Sterling Silver Tips: Note that one tip is missing its ball end, and the other is slightly bent—both are easy fixes for a collector familiar with vintage Navajo jewelry.

Condition:
Good, with visible signs of use consistent with its age. One tip is missing the ball end, and the other has a slight bend. The natural patina has been left untouched to preserve its authenticity, though polishing is at the buyer’s discretion. The turquoise stone is securely set, ensuring it remains a durable keepsake.

Specifications:

  • Weight: 83.1 grams
  • Length: 40" (Cord)
  • Bolo Dimensions: 3" x 1.75" x 0.5"
