Zuni
Southwest
1950s
Sterling silver and turquoise
Total circumference 8 1/2 in (21.6 cm), gap 1 1/4 in (3.2 cm), width 2 1/8 in (5.4 cm); 114.13 grams
Provenance: Private collection, Santa Fe, NM
This large Zuni cuff is massed with bold blue turquoise stones set across a wide front. The stones are cut as teardrops and ovals in serrated bezels, grouped into flower like clusters with round silver drop beads filling the spaces between. The turquoise is a strong blue with dark matrix, larger and bolder than the fine petit point Zuni is often known for.
At over 114 grams across a 2 1/8 inch width, this is a heavy, substantial cuff with real presence on the wrist. The clusters are raised above a heavy split shank band that carries the weight of the massed stones. The scale and bold stonework make it a statement piece within the Zuni cluster tradition.
