Navajo-Style Multi-Stone Turquoise and Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet

This is a substantial, wide-profile cuff bracelet crafted in the traditional Navajo Southwestern style. The piece is constructed from sterling silver and features a multi-stone cluster design. It showcases approximately 10 to 12 hand-cut turquoise cabochons of varying shapes, including rounds, ovals, and teardrops. The stones exhibit a vibrant cerulean to sky-blue hue with distinct dark brown and black spiderweb matrix, characteristic of mines like Kingman or Sleeping Beauty. Each stone is individually set in a sawtooth bezel, a hallmark of mid-to-late 20th-century Native American silversmithing. Between the large stones, small silver 'rain drops' or beads are soldered, adding texture and filling the negative space on the wide band. The silver has developed a significant dark patina, particularly in the recessed areas around the bezels, which reinforces its vintage character and highlights the brilliance of the turquoise. While no maker's mark is immediately visible in the image, the craftsmanship suggests an artisanal origin from the 1970s or 1980s. The condition appears sound, with no visible cracks in the stones, though the silver shows light surface scratches and tarnish consistent with regular wear.
