This listing is for a vintage Navajo cuff bracelet made of sterling silver, turquoise, and coral. This handcrafted Navajo piece has a unique and rare design using clusters of highly polished stones pressed into a thick bed of dark pyrite. The matching ring is listed separately. A heavier gauge silver makes up the cuff as an open framed shank with squared off ends. It was designed to be a simple clean shank, making sure all the attention was directed towards the three beds of stones. Weighing in at over 73 grams, its a solid and sturdy made piece. The three oval beds resting over the front have raised rounded silver edges creating a large bezel. A dark form of pyrite resides inside the three large bezels creating a pillow for the stones. A coral stone sits at the center of each bed and is surrounded with several clusters of turquoise stones. The turquoise stones have bright color hues of greens and blues with dark spiderwebbed matrix while the corals portray a solid opaque red. Each stone is in mint condition with no cracks or inclusions and they are secure within the pyrite. Its larger and wider than most pieces but has a dainty look and feel to it. The back of the cuff is stamped with a sterling mark and the Artists picto signature. A very well made piece with beautiful contrasting stones over pyrite and clean simple silver work. This Navajo made piece will make a great addition to your existing collection of fine Native American jewelry…… Or it could be the the perfect piece to start one. Make sure to check out the matching ring as well!!! Cherish and enjoy this cuff for now…. And hand it down to loved ones in the future. Weight – 73.4 Grams. Inner Circumference End to End – 5-7/8.
