Southwestern Multi-Ribbed Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet

This item is a heavyweight sterling silver cuff bracelet, designed in a classic Southwestern or Navajo-inspired modernist style. The piece is constructed from substantial gauge silver and features five parallel, horizontal ribbed bands that wrap around the outer perimeter. The top band is significantly wider and tapers inward, while the four subsequent lower ribs are uniform in thickness, creating a layered, architectural silhouette. The interior is smooth and flat, typical of high-quality hand-fabricated metalwork. The piece exhibits a consistent metallic luster with a visible aged patina, particularly within the recessed grooves between the ribs, which accentuates the depth of the design. Condition-wise, the bracelet shows minor surface scratches and faint scuffing consistent with light handling and wear. The terminals (ends of the cuff) are smooth and perpendicular, indicating a high level of craftsmanship and finishing. While no hallmarking is visible from the exterior perspective, the weight and luster are characteristic of .925 sterling silver. This style of 'corrugated' or 'multi-wire' cuff rose to prominence in the mid-to-late 20th century, often attributed to renowned Southwestern artisans who specialized in clean, geometric stampwork and heavy casting.
