NOTE: PLEASE READ MEASUREMENTS AND MEASURE YOUR WRIST BEFORE PURCHASING TO AVOID A RETURN DUE TO SIZING. This listing is for a very large and heavy vintage Navajo cuff bracelet, handcrafted from sterling silver and natural gem grade Turquoise. This incredible bracelet is a “knock outta the park”. At over 135 grams this Navajo crafted cuff was made to be seen, with a huge and uniquely shaped slab of natural Turquoise as the focal point and some of the best silver work we’ve seen to date. Bright blue undertones along with hints of Caribbean greens and heavy orangish tan matrixes run throughout the stone. The colors in this stone are STUNNING!! I was told the Turquoise is from the Bisbee mine but I’ve never seen Bisbee this color. I’m not an expert on gem stones so there’s no way to know for sure. The stone bulges high from its bezel on one side while the other half sits almost flush with the bezel… It’s a very interesting and unusual shape. The stone is in mint condition with a satin polished finish and sits securely within its bezel. The silver work is just as impressive as the stone and done at the highest level of craftsmanship. After twisted rope surrounds the stone, each side of the face is jam-packed with an assortment of detailed silver works, some of which are very unique and like nothing we’ve seen before. The stone and silver work all rest over a sturdy triple shank made from thick heavy gauge silver. The two outer shanks are wide and adorned with stampings to the North and South while the center shank is made from two thick twisted ropes and a thin silver rod in between them. So I guess you could say this is a five shank cuff. All of the shanks come together at the ends creating a decorative wide single shank. Between the unusual stone, the incredible silver work, and detailed shank, this vintage cuff is a masterpiece. This Navajo crafted cuff will make a great addition to any existing collection of fine Native American jewelry. Cherish and enjoy this vintage cuff before handing it down to a loved one in the future. Weight – 136 Grams – 4.8 Ounces. Inner Circumference End to End – 5-1/2. Gap – Just a hair under 1-1/4(Possibly adjustable with extreme force, I recommend not adjusting the gap yourself but, take too a jeweler for adjusting). Total Inner Circumference Including Gap – 6-3/4″should fit a wrist between 6-1/4″ and 6-5/8 comfortably. If your wrist is smaller than 6-1/4″ then the cuff will be loose and slide up and down the arm. If your wrist is larger than 6-5/8″ the cuff will be too tight and uncomfortable. Cuff Face Measurements – The cuff face measures 2-5/8″ tall (measured from North too South) and 2″ wide(measured East too West).. Its a very large piece! Stone Measurements – The stone measures just a hair over 2″ tall by just under 1-3/4″ wide(1-11/16). The one side of the stone sits on top of the cuff face at 3/8 high, while the other side sits nearly flush with the bezel. The bezel alone measures around 1/8 tall. Signed By Artist – NO. Stamped Sterling – NO tested and verified. 925 sterling silver guaranteed. Later Mid-Century, 1970’s+.
