Floyd Becenti Navajo Sterling Silver and Gold "StoryTeller" Bracelet. This wonderful Sterling Silver and Gold overlay Bracelet was made by Navajo smith Floyd Becenti.

Floyd was born in 1960 and lived near Gallup and became active making jewelry in the 1980's. He passed away in 2016.

He is a contemporary and relative of lots of talented Native jewelers. I he had Gary, David, Leroy, and Daniel "Sunshine" Reeves as relatives. The theme chosen is primarily agricultural with mesas, sheep, goats, clouds, etc. With a man in the field. I have a number of the Becenti brother's Story Teller Buckles in my personal collection.

I believe that each creation is unique and one-of-a-kind... Please, notice the Hallmark stamping.

For years Floyd and his brother Lloyd shared a Hallmark stamp. After a dispute and the possible loss or the Hallmark itself, everything changed. There are no defects like cracks, scratches, etc. The Bracelet is in Very Good to condition. If it is your size, I believe you will be pleased!
