I am sure that this bracelet, lovely as it is, is not american indian work. It is italian mosaic work most likely dating from the 1930's. I have some similar pieces and there are a lot on offer on ebay.co.uk, in England, so have a look to compare. It is very pretty, so please wear and enjoy!

Symbolic Native American Colours by: Anonymous
Hi Charity!
The two colours of the inlaid "chips" used on your Bracelet are both traditional & striking. I believe they are Symbolic in Native American folklore; Red (coral) represents Mother Earth and Blue (turquoise) represents Father Sky. Your Bracelet is very beautiful!

Native American At Its Finest! by: Suzanne

I just Love your Native American Bracelet! It's raw and earthy - just like Native American Jewelry should be - Native American Jewelry at its best in my opinion. The "inlay work" that's produced now a-days looks too much like manufactured jewelry. They've lost the spirit! Too technically proficient;-) "Chip work" could be the grand daddy of Native American Inlay work. What do you think? Suzanne
