Description

C.M. Yazzie Navajo Sterling Silver & Turquoise Cuff Bracelet

Striking in form and presence, this substantial sterling silver cuff bracelet is a signed work by Navajo silversmith Charlie Mike Yazzie, whose hallmark C.M. YAZZIE appears on the interior. A member of the well-known Yazzie family of artisans, Yazzie’s work reflects the enduring legacy of Navajo silversmithing: bold, symbolic, and deeply rooted in tradition.

This handcrafted piece features a wide flared band richly adorned with deeply chiseled geometric and abstract designs, bordered by stamped scalloped motifs and accented with raised silver raindrop beads. Two vivid turquoise cabochons—measuring approximately 12.0 mm and 12.75 mm—are bezel-set in fine serrated bezels. Their natural matrix and color variation contrast beautifully against the dark oxidized recesses and polished silver finish.

A true statement bracelet, this piece showcases the balance between structure and ornament that defines the finest examples of 20th-century Navajo silverwork.

Condition:
