Description

Navajo BTC Sterling Silver Turquoise Cluster Cuff Bracelet, 82.48g

A substantial Navajo sterling silver turquoise cluster cuff bracelet, signed BTC and marked NAV. This beautifully handcrafted piece features 70 natural turquoise stones, including a central oval cabochon (20.5 x 7.4 mm), surrounded by 53 pear-shaped, 2 oval, and 14 round stones. Each turquoise is individually hand-cut and bezel-set in a traditional cluster arrangement, accented by twisted rope and silver drop details. The design is mounted on a triple shank band and weighs an impressive 82.48 grams, offering both visual impact and craftsmanship typical of mid-20th century Navajo silversmithing.

Cluster cuffs such as this are among the most collectible expressions of Navajo jewelry, celebrated for their meticulous stonework, symmetry, and enduring beauty. The BTC NAV hallmark confirms Navajo origin, though the individual artisan is presently unidentified in hallmark references. Comparable examples of similar size and complexity are sought after by collectors and frequently achieve strong results at auction. With its harmonious balance of color, form, and traditional detailing, this bracelet stands as a striking example of Navajo artistry, equally suited for wearing or display.
