Vintage 1950s Navajo Turquoise Heart & Silver Cuff Bracelet

A striking example of mid-century Southwestern jewelry, this circa 1950s Navajo turquoise cuff centers on a substantial natural turquoise cabochon surrounded by dimensional silverwork, twisted rope detailing, stamped accents, and sculptural heart motifs.

The open multi-wire cuff construction gives the bracelet an architectural quality, while the aged patina and hand-finished details give it the unmistakable character of a vintage piece. The turquoise displays a beautiful blue-green coloration with natural matrix and variation unique to the stone.

Heart-shaped silver appliqués flank the center stone, giving this cuff an unusual romantic element while still retaining the strong, graphic character associated with vintage Navajo jewelry.

This is a substantial statement bracelet intended for collectors of vintage Native American and Southwestern jewelry as well as those drawn to one-of-a-kind pieces with history and presence.
