Vintage Native American Style Turquoise Cuff Bracelet
This item is a triple-stone cuff bracelet, handcrafted in a style synonymous with Southwestern Native American silversmithing, likely Navajo (Diné). The bracelet features three large, vibrant cerulean blue turquoise cabochons, each set in a serrated bezel and surrounded by a decorative rope or 'twist wire' border. The central turquoise stone is a large oval marquise shape, flanked by two teardrop or triangular-shaped stones on either side. Each stone is further embellished with a hand-stamped or cast 'scalloped' or 'sunburst' silver plate edging. The bracelet frame is a split-shank design consisting of two thick parallel silver bands. The turquoise shows natural dark matrix inclusions and a slight waxy luster indicative of genuine stone. Regarding condition, the metal displays a soft aged patina with moderate surface scratching and slight oxidation in the recessed areas of the silverwork, which is characteristic of vintage pieces. No obvious cracks or chips in the stones are visible from the front view. The craftsmanship displays high-quality hand-soldering and bench-made details, suggesting a mid-to-late 20th-century origin. While no hallmarks are visible in the image, the construction technique is consistent with sterling silver and professional indigenous artistry.
