This silver bracelet was made by a travelling Navajo jeweller in
New Mexico in the southwestern United States. It was collected some
time before 1905. The Navajo people have bought and worn silver
jewellery since the sixteenth century, but they only began to produce
silver jewellery in the 1860s. Since the early twentieth century,
Navajo jewellers have produced a great deal of silver jewellery
especially for the tourist market, and the jewellery has become
famous all over the world.
