Bolo, Novelty, Turquoise, Kachina, Hallmark, Vintage, 3711

FLY HIGH WITH THE KACHINA SPIRIT

Eugene Hale has brought a Kachina figure to life in this traditional vintage bolo. The Kachina is detailed with various sterling silver details, including patterned stamping, sunburst drops, twisted rope, and half moons. The finishing touch is the turquoise stones that are placed throughout. Each intricate part of this piece keeps the eye moving and in awe. It is placed on a traditional leather bolo cord that is tipped with sterling silver aiguillettes. This bolo makes a big and bold statement for anyone who wears it.

Marked "E.G. Hale, Sterling" on back of Kachina

Navajo silversmith Eugene Hale is renowned for his exceptional silverwork, often set with a singular, eye-catching stone, and this cuff showcases his work perfectly.  An irregular turquoise stone from Arizona’s Turquoise Mountain is set in a simple bezel and framed in twisted wire. The heavy cast band features traditional Navajo chisel work.
