This listing is for vintage Navajo cuff bracelet made of several stones and sterling silver. PLEASE read entire description from top to bottom. I try to go above and beyond when describing pieces of this nature and value. Please pay close attention to measurements, especially with cuff bracelets… The last thing both of us need is to have to deal with a return. So kick back, dont be in a hurry, and take 5 minutes to process all the information below. Where should I begin? ! ? ! ? ! ? This bracelet is by far the craziest, largest and heaviest piece we have collected over the last 3 years. It is mind blowing! The shank is simple, but very solid and heavy, being made of solid sterling silver. It has a width of nearly 2-1/4 while the depth/thickness of the shank is incredible at just over 1/4. I dont normally do this but, to put this piece into perspective I did a little math equation. The front of the cuff has a total surface area of 14 square inches. Of the 14 square inches, 5 are plain silver, while the remaining 9 are covered in huge bulging stones. So 9 square inches of pure organic beauty and color is what we have here! The stones used for this piece consist of Turquoise, Black Onyx, Mediterranean Coral, and two white stones that Im unfamiliar with. Each stone butts up to another stone in a cobblestone fashion creating a large rectangular display, that covers nearly 70% of the entire cuff. They have incredible mass and are cut into geometric shapes. Of all the stones used, the turquoise covers the majority of the 9 square inches. The colors and matrixes are phenomenal, not to mention the textures! The stones have been cut and polished but the Artist left the nooks and crannies of the turquoise alone to give a raw and organic look. The coral pieces are long and thin creating two V shaped coral areas over the front of the cuff. They have very nice red color with matrixes running through some. The Onyx pieces are very smooth and shiny like a mirror. They are very geometric in shape with three out of the four being triangular. In the photos my finger prints are showing on some of the onyx stones. Please note: my finger prints arent permanent. Lastly, the two mysterious white stones…. I have seen stones like this before in Navajo pieces, just not 100% on what they are called. The white stones have a very opaque off white color hue. They contrast nicely with all the other bold colors. I have searched for glue between the stones crevices and I havent been able to find any. Normally glue is visible in pieces of this nature but, not on this piece. It was very well made and very solid with no give what so ever!! I have taken photos from every angle possible to show the greatness of this bracelet. This is not a piece that should be worn daily. This would be a great addition to a Native American collection, a fantastic display piece, and of course on special occasions – You would wear the hell out of it. Cherish and enjoy this gorgeous tangible asset for now….. And like I alway say…. Hand it down to your loved ones in the future so they may have the same enjoyment as you once did!
