Single Stone Navajo Bracelet, c. 1930

This finely wrought Navajo bracelet from the early–mid 20th century centers on a luminous oval turquoise cabochon framed by an ornate silver mount enriched with twisted wire, and raindrop clusters. The split-shank cuff is deeply hand-stamped with zigzag pathways, radiating sunburst elements, and scalloped edges that give the band a dynamic presence. The combination of bold stone, layered silverwork, and confident stamp patterns reflects a period when Navajo silversmiths were expanding technical complexity while maintaining a strong visual balance between ornament and form.

This piece measures 5 ½” with a 1” gap, fitting a 6 ½” wrist nicely. The max width is 1 ½”.
