Vintage Native American Navajo Turquoise Coral Sterling Cuff Bracelet E CLAW
- Weight31.5 g
Description
This beautiful vintage cuff bracelet embodies the rich history and craftsmanship of Navajo jewelry. Each piece tells a story through its materials and design, reflecting a deep spiritual connection to nature and culture. The art form gained prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as Navajo silversmiths, originally taught by Spanish and Mexican artisans, perfected their unique styles. This particular piece, stamped with the highly sought-after maker's mark E CLAW, is a testament to that enduring tradition.
The bracelet features a stunning arrangement of bezel-set turquoise and coral cabochons, with each stone meticulously mounted and separated by delicate silver beads. The cuff is crafted from two substantial sterling silver bands, one featuring a decorative stamped texture and the other a twisted rope design, a classic element in Southwestern jewelry. The piece weighs a solid 31.5 grams and measures 5 1/4 inches in circumference with a 1 1/16-inch opening. Its width tapers from 13/16 inch at the center to 1/4 inch at the ends, creating a comfortable fit and an eye-catching profile. This piece is a perfect blend of historic artistry and timeless beauty, ideal for any collector or admirer of authentic Native American jewelry.

Will this cuff fit you?
- Inner silver
- 5.25"
- Gap opening
- 1.06"
- Fits a wrist of
- 6.31"
This one suits wrists from about 5.71" to 6.16". Measure with a tape or a strip of paper, snug against the skin, just below the wrist bone.
Too tight -0.19" of room
Forcing this cuff on risks both the stones and the silver. The gap cannot safely be widened to make it fit.
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.
