Vintage Navajo Stamped Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet

This item is a traditional Navajo-style cuff bracelet featuring intricate hand-stamped geometric designs typical of mid-20th-century Southwestern indigenous craftsmanship. The piece is constructed from a thick gauge of sterling silver, evidenced by the heavy, deep impressions of the stamp work and the sturdy profile of the metal. The central design motif consists of repeated repoussé-style embossed ovals surrounded by radiating line stamps and scalloped borders. These geometric patterns are deeply oxidized within the recessed areas, creating a high-contrast patina that highlights the precision of the hand-tooling. The silver surface shows a soft, aged luster with minor surface abrasions and fine scratches consistent with age and regular wear. The edges are finished smoothly with a gentle taper toward the wrist terminals. While no specific maker’s mark is visible in the provided image, the complexity and depth of the stamping suggest a skilled artisan, likely dating from the 1940s to 1970s. The cuff possesses a significant width, likely measuring around 1 inch, providing a bold aesthetic. There are no signs of structural cracks or improper repairs, though the natural tarnish characterizes it as an authentic vintage piece.
