Johnny Pablo was a renowned Navajo silversmith active in the mid-20th century, known for his cast silver jewelry featuring high-quality turquoise cabochons. While there isn't a piece explicitly titled "Santa Fe Bracelet" in available records, his work is prominently featured and sold through galleries in Santa Fe, New Mexico—a hub for Native American art—such as Shiprock Santa Fe and Martha Hopkins Struever Antiquities. These bracelets often evoke the Southwestern aesthetic associated with Santa Fe, blending Navajo traditions with turquoise from sources like Morenci or Lone Mountain.
