Description
Traditional handmade Native American Indian Jewelry from Indigenous Pueblos of the Southwest. Guaranteed authentic. Excellent condition.
Make a bold, classic statement with this handcrafted contemporary Navajo cuff bracelet. The centerpiece of this striking design is a substantial, vibrant blue turquoise stone featuring a beautiful, organic dark matrix. The stone is securely set within a traditional twisted silver wire bezel and framed by exceptional silverwork. An elegant, hand-stamped silver leaf applique gracefully hugs one side of the stone, perfectly balanced by delicate silver drops and scalloped edges. The intricate setting rests on a comfortable, double-band split-shank sterling silver cuff.
For generations, Navajo (Diné) silversmiths have been celebrated by collectors for their exceptional heavy-gauge metalwork and deep reverence for turquoise, a gem traditionally regarded as the “fallen sky stone.” This contemporary bracelet beautifully showcases classic, time-honored Navajo techniques. The intricate silver leaf demonstrates the art of applique—where individual decorative elements are meticulously hand-crafted and soldered onto the base—while the split-shank cuff design allows for a substantial, statement-making piece that remains lightweight and perfectly balanced on the wrist.
