Description

Navajo Sterling Silver Cuff — ML Hallmark & Bien Mur Stamp

Elegant Native American sterling silver cuff bracelet, signed “ML” with an additional “Bien Mur” hallmark—indicating retail provenance from the Bien Mur Indian Market Center, Sandia Pueblo, New Mexico. The piece is hand-wrought in solid sterling silver (tested) with traditional Navajo form and proportion, likely the work of an “ML”-initialed artisan such as Margaret Lee or Milton Lee. Characterized by clean stampwork and subtle contouring, it reflects the craftsmanship and authenticity associated with Bien Mur’s mid- to late-20th-century offerings.

A fine example of collectible Southwest silver, combining artistry, cultural heritage, and regional provenance.


Condition

Good vintage condition with light surface wear consistent with age. Silver shows natural tarnish and patina; we’ve chosen to leave polishing to the buyer’s preference.
