Navajo Sterling Silver & Kingman Turquoise Cuff Bracelet, Monumental 143g, ca. 1960s–1970s
An exceptional Navajo cuff bracelet, ca. 1960s–1970s, distinguished by its monumental Kingman turquoise cabochon. Measuring 62.56 x 47.37 mm, the stone exhibits a vivid blue field with dark matrix and subtle metallic inclusions, hallmarks of Kingman turquoise. Its remarkable size sets this bracelet apart, representing the bold aesthetic of the mid-20th-century Southwestern jewelry boom, when large turquoise cabochons became symbols of status and artistry.
The cabochon is framed with traditional silver beading and appliqué designs, including crescents and domed drops, all set upon a sturdy triple-shank construction. This form not only stabilizes the oversized stone but also provides visual balance and comfort on the wrist. Weighing an impressive 143.32 grams, the bracelet has commanding presence yet remains wearable, its silver carrying a deep patina that enhances its vintage character.
Navajo cuffs of this scale — uniting a massive Kingman turquoise stone, substantial sterling weight, and classic triple-shank design — are increasingly scarce. This bracelet is a statement piece and a significant addition to any serious collection of Navajo jewelry.
Condition
Good vintage condition. The turquoise shows surface scratches visible on close inspection but remains securely set. The silver displays natural patina and light wear consistent with age. No structural issues noted; shank remains stable and well-formed.
