1930s Hubbell Glass Bracelet

Step into the past with this exquisite antique bracelet, a testament to Native American influence and timeless craftsmanship. Originating in the 1930s, this piece showcases the allure of Hubbell glass beads—a material initially crafted in Bohemia to emulate the vibrant hues of coral and turquoise. Fred Harvey, a trailblazer in the Southwest tourist jewelry market, introduced these beads.

Alternating coral-colored and turquoise-colored Hubbell glass bead charms sway gracefully between silver squash leaf beads. Their vivid colors evoke the spirit of the American Southwest. As Hubbell glass gained popularity, skilled artisans seamlessly incorporated these beads into their unique designs, infusing Native American aesthetics into every detail. The book chain elegantly threads through silver squash blossom beads.
