early Fred Harvey bracelet with arrows

(The Navajo (Dine') began to work silver in the mid-nineteenth century. Learning techniques of silversmithing from the Mexicans, they began to produce beautiful jewelry to wear.

As the railroads reached the Southwest in the 1880s, the Fred Harvey Company opened shops for travelers at the railroad stations, thus providing a ready market for Navajo jewelry. The Fred Harvey Company encouraged motifs that the tourists liked, which included arrows such as those seen on this bracelet.
