Having a hard time researching this beautiful Native American coin silver bracelet, believe it to be from late 1800s. The design is unique with the pegs and rosettes around the center stone which looks to be very aged turquoise. Signed Silver Products coin silver. Would like more info on this piece.

Its from the 1930's-40's, deffinitely a Fred Harvey tourist piece. Silver Products was a trading post
The stone is actually a type of palstic that was used to simulate turquoise. See that little bubble/hole? Thats a dead giveaway, mother nature doesn't put bubbles in her stones. Also, the more I look at it, it appears to be 40's-50's instead of 30's-40's.
