Vintage Navajo Sterling Silver & Natural Turquoise Cuff Bracelet
A substantial and well-balanced vintage Navajo cuff bracelet, hand-crafted in tested sterling silver and set with five graduated natural turquoise cabochons. The stones are thoughtfully arranged across a traditional triple-shank band, presenting a strong horizontal profile that sits confidently on the wrist. Each cabochon displays individual character, with blue to blue-green coloration and natural matrix that speaks to the authenticity of the material.
The construction reflects classic mid-20th century Navajo silversmithing, where form and function are equally considered. Hand-cut bezels secure each stone, while the triple-wire shank provides both visual weight and long-term wearability. The bracelet was acquired from a New Mexico estate of fine Native American jewelry assembled during the third quarter of the 20th century, lending credible period context and collecting history.
Unmarked, as is common with earlier Navajo work, this cuff relies on quality of materials and execution rather than signature—an approach favored by many traditional artisans. The result is a timeless piece of Southwestern jewelry that emphasizes natural turquoise, honest craftsmanship, and enduring design.

Condition:
Good vintage condition. All stones are secure in their settings. The silver shows surface wear and retains a natural patina consistent with age; polishing has been intentionally left to the buyer’s discretion. Minor surface scratches are present on the turquoise, typical of honest vintage wear. A prior repair to the rope bezel is visible at one end, with subtle copper toning at the solder seam, consistent with an older silver repair and not affecting the integrity or wearability of the bracelet.
