JBJ Sterling Silver and Turquoise Cuff Bracelet

This is a significant Southwestern-style cuff bracelet featuring a large, triangular slab of natural turquoise as its focal point. The stone exhibits a vibrant sky-blue hue with substantial brown and grey matrix, set into a secure sawtooth bezel. The bracelet's construction consists of an ornate split-shank frame made of sterling silver. The central decorative cluster includes scallop-edged silverwork and fine stampings, flanking the stone. The outer rails of the cuff are further embellished with deep linear stampings, while a delicate twisted rope wire runs between the split shanks, adding textural contrast. The piece is marked 'JBJ STERLING', which identifies it as a product of Santa Fe's jewelry industry, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century. The condition appears very good with a natural aged patina deep in the recesses of the silverwork, which highlights the hand-stamped details. The turquoise shows a lustrous polish with no visible cracks, indicating high-quality stone selection and well-preserved craftsmanship characteristic of Santa Fe's artisan tradition.
