Description

 S. Jon Navajo Sterling Silver & Turquoise Cuff Watch – 45.5g

A striking example of Navajo silversmithing, this handcrafted sterling silver and turquoise cuff watch is signed S. Jon, an artisan known for traditional Southwestern design. Nine vibrant bezel-set turquoise cabochons are arranged in classic Navajo layout, each framed by detailed rope and bead silverwork. The central watch head is easily removable and replaceable, allowing the piece to be worn with a working timepiece or customized to the wearer’s preference. The silver has been tested as sterling (.925) and retains a rich vintage patina that complements the turquoise beautifully.

This piece combines functional jewelry with collectible artisan craftsmanship, making it a desirable addition for enthusiasts of Native American silver and turquoise work.

Condition:

Good overall vintage condition. Watch head is inoperable but can be replaced with ease. Silver exhibits natural patina and light surface wear consistent with age. All stones are secure in their settings. The cuff has not been polished, allowing the buyer to preserve its vintage finish or restore to a high shine as desired.
