Navajo Sandcast Bracelet, c. 1930

Description

This striking Antique Navajo bracelet, c. 1930, centers on a vivid oval turquoise cabochon with warm brown matrix, set in hand-worked sterling silver. The stone is framed by twisted wire and accented with applied raindrops, while the bold split-shank cuff features sculptural arrow and dome elements that give the bracelet strong dimensional presence. The softened patina and confident silverwork reflect the transition period of early 20th-century Navajo jewelry, when traditional forms merged with increasingly expressive metalwork. A powerful and sculptural example of classic Navajo design, this bracelet stands as a highly collectible piece from a formative era of Southwestern silversmithing.


This piece measures 5 ½” with a 1 1/4” gap, perfect for a 6 3/4” wrist. The width is 1 ¾”.
