This wide, sand-cast or hand-fabricated sterling silver cuff showcases the "Row" or "Cluster" style, emphasizing the natural beauty of the stones against intricate silverwork.
Key Design Elements:
  • The Gemstones: * Turquoise: The vibrant, clear blue stones appear to be Sleeping Beauty Turquoise (from Arizona), highly prized for its "clean" color and lack of heavy matrix.
    • Coral: The deep red cabochons are likely Mediterranean Red Coral, which became a staple of high-end Navajo jewelry through 19th-century trade.
  • Silver Artistry:
    • Rope/Twist Wire: Each stone is encircled by a "twisted wire" border, representing the umbilical cord and the bond between the wearer and the earth.
    • Raindrops/Silver Beads: Small, hand-melted silver "raindrops" are nestled between the bezels, a traditional motif used to symbolize water and life in the desert.
    • Stampwork: The outer edges of the cuff feature hand-stamped geometric patterns, likely representing lightning or mountain ranges, adding texture and traditional narrative to the piece.

Technical Summary

  • Weight: 52.30 grams (significant silver weight).
  • Dimensions: 2.25 x 2.75 inches (standard large wrist sizing).
  • Metal: Sterling Silver (typically stamped ".925" or "Sterling" on the interior).
  • Technique: Sawtooth bezels, hand-applied wirework, and traditional stampwork.

Collector's Note

The combination of turquoise and red coral in Navajo jewelry is often referred to as a "protection" pairing—the blue representing the sky (father) and the red representing the earth (mother).
Condition: The silver shows a beautiful natural patina in the recessed areas, which provides depth to the design. The stones appear securely set in their original sawtooth bezels with no visible cracks.
