Make a striking statement with this classic Navajo sterling silver and turquoise cuff bracelet. The centerpiece of this elegant design is a massive, oval-cut natural turquoise stone featuring a brilliant, vibrant blue hue with a very delicate, light matrix. The impressive gem is securely set within a smooth silver bezel and beautifully wrapped in a traditional twisted silver rope border. This exceptional centerpiece is further accented by graceful hand-formed silver scrollwork and classic silver drops. The setting is mounted to a sturdy split-shank cuff, flanked by beautifully stamped, fluted silver shields that taper elegantly down the sides of the wrist.
Navajo (Diné) silversmiths are celebrated worldwide for their masterful ability to pair heavy-gauge silverwork with high-grade, vibrant turquoise. The clear, bright robin’s-egg blue color of this large stone is highly sought after by collectors and is characteristic of world-renowned American mines like Kingman or Sleeping Beauty. By combining this breathtaking centerpiece with time-honored techniques like intricate silver scrolls and precise stamp work, the artist has created a bold, elegant piece of wearable art that beautifully captures the timeless spirit of traditional Native American jewelry.
