Navajo silversmiths of the mid twentieth century set natural turquoise into heavy sterling, and this cuff carries three stones across a stamped band with the largest at the center. Each stone sits in a serrated bezel framed by twisted silver rope, while the shanks are worked with repeated stamps that darken in the oxidized recesses. The turquoise runs from blue green to deeper green with natural brown matrix, and the open form adjusts to the wrist through its 1 1/2 inch gap.
