Mid Century Turquoise Bracelet

Description

This elegant Navajo turquoise bracelet, c. 1940–1950, features five well-matched oval turquoise cabochons with rich blue color and pronounced natural matrix. Each stone is individually framed in twisted wire and set across a classic split-shank sterling silver cuff, accented with subtle hand-stamped motifs along the bands. The balanced repetition of stones, restrained silverwork, and clean construction reflect a mature phase of Navajo jewelry making, when traditional techniques were refined into confident, wearable forms. With its harmonious design and high-quality turquoise, this bracelet is a timeless example of mid-century Navajo silversmithing.


This bracelet measures 5 ¼” with a 1” gap, fitting a 6 ¼” wrist.
