Description
Embrace the timeless allure of the American Southwest with this captivating sterling silver cuff bracelet. Featuring three vibrant turquoise cabochons, displaying a stunning blue hue and matrix characteristic of stones from the famed Kingman mine, each is securely nestled in a traditional bezel setting accented with classic rope detailing. This piece embodies the rich heritage of Native American silversmithing, reflecting a tradition dating back to the mid-19th century when Navajo smiths first began working with silver, often incorporating turquoise – revered for its beauty and perceived protective qualities. Adding to its unique story, the reverse side bears a maker's mark: "J" and possibly "Y". Research strongly suggests this piece may be handcrafted by respected Navajo artisan Jeanette Yazzie, known for her skillful silverwork. This potential attribution links the bracelet directly to a known artist within this celebrated lineage.
This beautiful cuff showcases a striking face that measures 2 inches by 3 inches from bead end to bead end, making a noticeable yet elegant statement. Crafted for comfort and style, the bracelet has an inner circumference of 5 1/2 inches with a 1 5/16 inch opening, designed to comfortably fit a wrist up to 6 3/4 inches. Its thoughtful construction includes flexibility for minor adjustments. Weighing a balanced 21.3 grams, it feels substantial yet comfortable. The split shank design adds visual interest, ensuring focus remains on the breathtaking turquoise, potentially Kingman, stones. Add a piece of signed, wearable history and artistry to your collection with this exquisite Southwestern treasure.

Slight adjustment possible — once
Light-gauge silver can be eased a little by a jeweller to follow your wrist. Once. Repeated bending work-hardens the metal and it eventually snaps at the shoulder.
Set with Turquoise.
How to put a vintage cuff on without bending it
- Turn the cuff so the gap faces the underside of your wrist.
- Rest the opening against the narrowest part — the flat side of the wrist, not the back of the hand.
- Roll it on: slide one terminal past the wrist bone, then rotate the cuff around rather than pushing it straight on.
- Turn the gap back underneath once it is on.
The roll is the whole trick. Pushing a cuff on straight is what makes people force the gap wider, and the silver does not come back.
