VINTAGE STERLING SILVER SOUTHWESTERN DESIGN TURQUOISE STONE BRACELET 7.5 12/1225

The sterling bracelet appears to be a piece of Southwestern-style jewelry, likely made by a manufacturer using the "AW" maker's mark, possibly associated with Carolyn Pollack. The "925" stamp confirms it is made of sterling silver. The "925" stamp (or hallmark on the inside of the clasp) indicates that the metal is sterling silver, an alloy composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. Pure silver is too soft for durable jewelry, so alloying makes it stronger and more practical.
The "AW" initials are likely the manufacturer's or artisan's mark. This specific mark is often associated with the American West Jewelry company, which produces pieces for designers like Carolyn Pollack. The bracelet features several oval-shaped turquoise stones, each set in a scalloped or beaded bezel, linked together by small flower-like motifs, a common design in Southwestern jewelry. It is from an estate auction and is in excellent vintage condition
