Description

The listing, Vintage NAKAI Sterling Silver Bracelet Please Read has ended.

Thanks for stopping by this very special auction. I didn't really know anything about this except that it was vintage and turquoise with coral inlaid. Then before posting it I began to research it to give you guys some info. I purchased this over ten years ago and it was vintage then. I don't know exactly how old this is though. Upon researching it I found out that the Nakai line of jewelry is vintage Navajo. Made of sterling silver. It's old and needs polishing. It is not stamped 925 but it's stamped Nakai on the inside as you can see in the last photo. It's a heavy wide band highly detailed bracelet. I hardly wear it anymore and although I still love it I am willing to part with it because I see something on here I really want. Nakai pieces sell on eBay for upwards $400.00 and even more but you can get this free. This is a special piece and I am doing a seven day auction on this. Please keep in mind how special this piece.

Questions & Comments

Its bronze and was made in the 1970's. - If it was sterling it would be marked.

Real or not, it's a beautiful bracelet & thank you for listing it for our bidding pleasure ;0)

I think the question people have about it is that if it was authentic Nakai. I think it is. I am not into listing or offering replicas. As I never have before. I only like to offer nice things. If it's not that's not my intention. None the less thank you. It's old. I bought it over ten years ago when I moved to atlanta. It hasn't turned color besides natural tarnishing.

Please people no rude comments just had to block a user and hide their comments. It dosent make sense for people to get on other peoples auctions and start hating. SMH when we are all on here for the same reason.

What is the diameter? both ways

We have many silversmith jewelers on the navajo reservation near where i live. nakai is a well known name here so i would venture it was made on the navajo rez by a silversmith named nakai and it is truly sterling silver. you can have it tested pretty easily. would also be good to know the gram weight of the piece. nice! f&w

He was posting eBay's auction number for the same / similar bracelet. But their's looks bronze as they have listed it, and yours looks silver, so maybe it's the same pattern but made of different materials? Anyway, it is a beautiful bracelet! Good luck with it!

I just checked Nakai and if it is Sterling, it should be marked.

Jan 27th, 2014 at 2:46:44 PM PST by

Well I just checked about what you said and upon my finding it wouldn't be marked 925. They said that if it was marked 925 it means that it is not real.

Jan 27th, 2014 at 3:25:55 PM PST by

Beautiful! if you laid it on top of a ruler, what would the diameter be...like 2-1/2 inches, more or less? Thank you! All the Best!

I am not sue at this time. I am snowed in away from home. Atlanta is in a state of emergency right now through Friday. So I can't measure. I know it fits an average size wrist. It can go smaller or larger because it is adjustable.

Jan 29th, 2014 at 10:11:52 AM PST by

What size is it please.

Jan 27th, 2014 at 1:37:18 AM PST by

The band is a tad bit over 3/4 of an inch wide
