Vintage Native American Sterling Silver and Turquoise Cuff Bracelet

This is a significant Native American style cuff bracelet, likely Navajo (Diné) in origin, featuring a central large, oval cabochon of natural turquoise. The turquoise displays a vibrant robin's egg blue to deep teal hue with a pronounced dark brown and black spiderweb matrix, characteristic of mines like Kingman or Royston. The stone is set in a heavy sawtooth bezel. The centerpiece is flanked by elaborate hand-stamped silverwork, including a large 'feather' or 'leaf' element on one side with deep diagonal scoring and a row of silver rain droplets or beads on the opposite side. The cuff itself is a split-shank or triple-wire design, which provides structural stability and aesthetic lightness despite the piece's substantial size. The construction appears to be hand-fabricated from sterling silver, exhibiting a soft, aged patina and some surface oxidation in the recessed areas (crevices), which highlights the craftsmanship. The metal shows minor fine scratches and light surface wear consistent with a mid-20th-century vintage (circa 1950s-1970s). Large, high-quality turquoise stones and complex stamp work such as this indicate a high level of silversmithing skill. There are no visible maker's marks or hallmarks on the front, though they may be present on the interior shank. The overall condition is excellent, showing well-preserved integrity with no visible cracks or stabilized repairs to the stone.
