Vintage Navajo Sterling Silver "Bear Claw" Bolo Tie – Signed SD

Rare Collector’s Navajo "Spirit of the Bear" Sterling & Turquoise Bolo Tie – Artist Signed. Own a masterfully crafted piece of Southwestern history. This isn't just an accessory; it’s a statement of heritage and rugged elegance. Hand-wrought by a skilled Navajo artisan, this signed "SD" Sterling Silver Bolo Tie features the iconic Bear Claw motif—a symbol of strength, protection, and leadership. Why This Piece Stands Apart: • Artisan Hallmark: Stamped "SD 925 STERLING" on the reverse, verifying its authenticity and precious metal content. • The Stone Trio: Featuring premium, high-matrix Natural Turquoise and a vibrant Mediterranean Red Coral cabochon. These stones are hand-set in sawtooth bezels, the mark of true traditional silversmithing. • Exquisite Silverwork: The centerpiece is framed by intricate, hand-stamped silver "feathers" and scrolling "tendrils," showcasing the depth and texture that only vintage hand-tooling can provide. • The "Full Set" Premium: Unlike cheaper bolos, this piece includes matching Turquoise-set sterling tips. This level of detail is usually reserved for custom commissions or high-end gallery pieces. • Timeless Patina: The silver has aged to a perfect, deep oxidation that makes the turquoise "pop" and proves its vintage soul. The Details: • Material: Solid .925 Sterling Silver • Stones: Genuine Turquoise & Red Coral • Cord: Supple, hand-braided black leather • Condition: Museum-grade vintage condition. Ready to wear or display. Wear it to the boardroom, the gala, or the ranch. Whether you are a seasoned collector of Indigenous art or looking for that one "legacy" piece to define your style, this bolo tie is an investment in quality that never goes out of fashion.
