Navajo Indian SILVER OVERLAID Cuff Bracelet by Jackson 1910-BR(J)
Silver Bracelet.
This is no light baby doll, this is a big boy bracelet!!! This one is meant to be worn with pride. This is a very, very heavy gauge bracelet. This incredible work of art was hand made from start to finish. And, it is perfect down to the matting. This bracelet features overlaid southwestern designs. This image was hand cut with perfect precision out of shimmering Sterling Silver and overlaid onto the Sterling Silver cuff. This was made from a sheet of 18 gauge Sterling Silver on top and the bottom. Silver on Silver, you can't go wrong with that. Designed in our shop by Richard and Navajo artist Robert Dinay. Made by JR Jackson. This impressive bracelet is 7/8" wide, and we'll make it fit anywhere from a 6" to an 8" wrist. Stamped Sterling. Signed with our hallmark.
The cowboy was born in 1866 with the first herd of Texas longhorns trailed across hundreds of miles of wild and dangerous country, filled with predators and hostile Indians, to the wide open town of Abilene.... created by the Kansas Pacific Railroad as the western frontier railhead for shipping cattle East. From that time on the big Texas cattle drives fed the market for a beef-hungry America. Six hundred thousand cattle came up the Texas trail in 1871 in herds of about 2,000 each led by a wild and reckless and tough bunch of young men with great courage and fortitude. Huge numbers of longhorn cattle had multiplied in Texas after the Civil War, the result of few predators, few fences and plenty of grass and water. They ran wild while Texas men went off to fight for the Confederacy. Cow-gathering was a challenge but getting a herd all the way to the Kansas railroad paid big. Early cowboys had very little grub (mostly corn meal and salted bacon,) used homemade saddles and chaps, no tents or tarps, braided their own rope from horsehair, and bragged they could go any place a cow could, and stand anything a horse could. Lay on your saddle blanket and cover with a coat was the Texas trail bed. The twelve-inch-barrel Colt was necessary equipment. Strong, lightweight and wiry men who were persevering and loyal defined a new American spirit of freedom and independence. Mothers shared great pride in seeing their sons grow up to be cowboys.
