Vintage Southwestern Navajo Style Silver Cuff Bracelet with Natural Turquoise Cabochon Category: Bracelets - A substantial vintage cuff bracelet, likely dating to the 1930s or 1940s (Old Pawn era). The metal appears to be silver, consistent with sterling silver construction, though unmarked. The wide cuff is constructed from four heavy gauge bands joined together, featuring extensive hand-stamping, deep repoussé work, and geometric patterns along the edges. The central focus is a large, oval cabochon stone that appears to be natural turquoise, exhibiting a vibrant blue-green color heavily accented by prominent brown matrix veining. The stone is secured by a plain bezel surrounded by a rope-twist border and further embellished with four small domed silver spheres. The design incorporates prominent sunray motifs flanking the central stone. Weight: 1.37 oz
