1950s Number Eight Turquoise Cuff
Tribe: Navajo (Diné)
Item #C01955
1950s Navajo sterling silver cuff bracelet set with five old Number Eight Turquoise stones. The stones display bright blue coloration with distinctive brown and black spiderweb matrix, arranged across a wide oxidized silver face.
The bracelet has an unusual sculptural construction, with a broad framed face accented by hand-stamped details and a substantial multi-wire shank that opens into geometric forms along the sides. The combination of early Number Eight Turquoise, heavy silverwork, and the architectural cuff construction gives the piece a particularly strong mid-century Navajo appearance.
