Description
Traditional handmade Native American Indian Jewelry from Indigenous Pueblos of the Southwest. Guaranteed authentic. Excellent condition.
Add a piece of authentic Southwestern history to your collection with this handcrafted Navajo turquoise and sterling silver cuff bracelet. This classic design features a traditional three-stone row arrangement, showcasing a trio of vibrant natural turquoise stones. Each gemstone displays a beautiful, bright hue complemented by a distinct, earthy natural matrix. The stones are securely set within classic sawtooth bezels and are elegantly framed by traditional twisted silver rope borders and smooth silver drops (often called raindrops). This perfectly balanced centerpiece rests upon a sturdy, multi-wire sterling silver split-shank cuff, offering a comfortable, lightweight fit while keeping the stunning natural stones front and center.
The multi-stone row bracelet is a beloved and enduring style in classic Navajo (Diné) silversmithing. While Navajo artisans first began mastering metalwork in the mid-19th century, it wasn’t until around 1880 that they began setting turquoise—a highly revered stone representing health, protection, and a deep connection to the sky and water—into their silver creations. The traditional row design was specifically developed to highlight the organic beauty and natural color variations of carefully matched stones. Today, authentic handcrafted pieces like this are highly prized by collectors for their timeless aesthetic, sturdy construction, and rich cultural legacy.
