This listing features a handcrafted Navajo cuff bracelet made of sterling silver and natural turquoise nuggets. This Navajo crafted bracelet features a wide shank of heavy gauge silver adorned with natural turquoise nuggets clustered over the face. The stones have vivid color qualities of deep ocean blue with dark matrixes running throughout. The colors are enhanced by the dark oxidized silver beneath which creates a high contrast with the stones. Each nugget sits securely while protruding up and out of a finely etched sawtooth bezel. Tiny silver droplets line the outer edge of the stones while classic stampings follow around the edge of silver overlay. The shank is very wide at the face and slightly tapers down on each side before reaching the ends. Hand stampings run the entire length of the North and South edges along with each side, finishing the design. An unidentified Artist signature is present on the back of the shank and reads LF with a picto hallmark of a leaf. There is no sterling stamp however, the silver has been tested and proves to be sterling. This is a great Navajo statement piece and perfect for today’s vintage bohemian trends…… Will make a great addition to any existing collection of fine Native American jewelry….
