1920s Cerrillos Turquoise Cuff
Early Navajo, hand-forged sterling silver ingot cuff bracelet set with a single hand-cut natural Cerrillos turquoise stone in a simple bezel. The wide silver band is decorated with bold chisel-stamped radiating designs, a hallmark of early Navajo silversmithing. Heavy wear and deep patina are consistent with nearly a century of age. This piece likely dates to 1915 - 1925, an era when Navajo jewelers were adapting their craft for both Native use and early trader markets. Unsigned.
