Navajo-Style Sleeping Beauty Turquoise and Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet

This is a vintage Southwest-style cuff bracelet, likely of Navajo (Din) origin, crafted from what appears to be coin silver or sterling silver. The bracelet features a classic split-shank design, with the central focus being a cluster of bright, sky-blue turquoise cabochons, often associated with the 'Sleeping Beauty' mine due to their consistent, matrix-free coloration. The stones are set in individual hand-cut serrated bezels. The sides of the cuff are heavily ornamented with traditional hand-stamped geometric patterns, including chevrons and hatch marks, which typically represent landscape or spiritual elements in Indigenous metalwork. The scalloped edges of the metal add a refined textural detail. Regarding condition, the piece shows significant surface scratching and light oxidation (patina) consistent with mid-20th-century age (circa 1940s-1960s). There is a tiny '925' or 'STERLING' mark visible on the interior of the shank, though it is slightly worn. The craftsmanship demonstrates high-quality smithing, as the symmetry of the stamps and the security of the bezel settings remain intact despite visible wear from use.
