A silver bracelet by highly collected Navajo jeweler Wil Vandever, featuring a large Water Web Kingman turquoise stone surrounded by his good heavy silverwork. Vandever was particularly known for pairing high-quality turquoise with precise, recognizable silverwork.
Vandever learned jewelry making after marrying his wife, and went on to become an award-winning artist. After operating his own shop in the 1970s, he left retail to concentrate fully on making jewelry. His work developed a particularly strong following among collectors in Japan, where his use of top-quality turquoise was highly sought after.
