Navajo
Southwest
1930s
Sterling silver and turquoise
Total circumference 7 3/4 in (19.7 cm), gap 1 1/4 in (3.2 cm), width 3/4 in (1.9 cm); 47.20 grams
Provenance: Private collection, Santa Fe, NM
This Navajo cuff carries three blue turquoise stones with fine spiderweb matrix, an oval at the center between two teardrop stones. Each stone is ringed by twisted rope wire and set off with round silver beads that fill the spaces between the settings. The blue tone is consistent across all three stones, with the darker matrix giving each its own webbed pattern.
The shoulders are stamped with radiating fan motifs, and the shanks are worked as twisted wire that continues the rope theme around the band. At just over 47 grams across a 3/4 inch width, the cuff is lighter and more open than a solid band, with the silver concentrated in the wirework. The 7 3/4 inch circumference with a 1 1/4 inch gap suits a larger wrist and adjusts through the open back.
