About The Navajo or Zuni Distinctive Turquoise Cuff

Beautiful bold little silver cuff bracelet

12 carved rectangles of intense blue, green natural turquoise are channel set blanketing the entire face of this wonderful piece of jewelry.

The fit has to be exact, on this one we have a "glass slipper effect".  Because it is a heavy construction, fabricated from sheet either side of the cuff."

The marker's mark is a small bobtail horse or dog with an elongated body.

The stellar turquoise material is the same material featured in a channel set bracelet by Dan Simplicio fetured in the C.G. Wallace catalogue (pl 118 plate/ item #692).

This work of art showcases the treasures of nature and American turquoise at its best. Happy the wrist of the cinderella this bracelet embraces !!!

About Navajo

The Navajo were the first of the Native Americans of the Southwest to learn silversmithing from the Spanish. Most Navajo jewelry emphasizes silver, with turquoise stones used as an accent. Some pieces are cast in sand or tufa molds, while others are hammered, using a male stamp and a female die.
