Artie Yellowhorse Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet with Teal Gemstone | Native American Contemporary Southwest Jewelry

Description

This exquisite sterling silver cuff bracelet is a testament to the talent of acclaimed Navajo/Dine' artist Artie Yellowhorse, whose work seamlessly blends traditional Southwest artistry with a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Crafted with a sleek, minimalist band of silver, the bracelet is perfectly centered with a striking teal gemstone set in a simple bezel, showcasing its deep, rich color and polished finish.

The bracelet’s heritage is affirmed by the markings found on the inner tips: "Artie Yellowhorse" is stamped on one side, and "Sterling" on the other, confirming the 925 silver purity. This piece hails from the long and rich tradition of Southwestern Native American jewelry, a genre that rose to prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, evolving from functional metalwork to celebrated art. Artists like Artie Yellowhorse continue this legacy, often utilizing classic materials like sterling silver and natural stones while innovating with modern silhouettes. Her family, known for their artistry, has been creating jewelry for generations, making this bracelet a piece of that continuing story.

This elegant piece is designed to be worn comfortably, weighing a light 8.7 grams. It has an interior measurement of 5 inches with a 1 5/8 inch opening, suggesting a snug fit for smaller to medium wrists. Its slender design makes it perfect for stacking with other pieces or wearing on its own as a subtle statement of authentic Native American craftsmanship and contemporary style.
