Early Charlie John Navajo Sterling Cuff – Peyote Bird, Turquoise & Coral
An early Navajo sterling silver cuff bracelet by master silversmith Charlie John, showcasing turquoise and coral inlay arranged in stylized Peyote Bird motifs. Traditional stamped bear claw accents frame the design, blending artistry with cultural symbolism. Weighing 44 grams, the cuff has both substantial presence and comfortable wear, making it equally suited for collectors and daily adornment.
Charlie John (b. 1954, Winslow, Arizona) began silversmithing at age 14 under his great-uncle, William Singer. This piece represents his early work, already showing the refined overlay and custom stamp details that define his style. Today, Charlie John is recognized as one of the foremost contemporary Navajo jewelers, and early signed examples like this are particularly collectible.
Condition
In good vintage condition, with light wear consistent with age. Stones are secure in their settings, and the bracelet retains its natural patina. Polishing is left to the buyer’s discretion.
