Additional Information

Pieces like this emerged in the creative swell of the 1950s–70s, when Native jewelers began merging traditional silversmithing with modernist ideas—resulting in striking works that were both rooted in culture and future-looking. This cuff likely dates to that era, with a design that references the four directions or an abstracted butterfly form, depending on the viewer’s lens. The presence of a single natural turquoise stone grounds it firmly in the spirit of the Southwest.

A true collector’s piece and an icon of wearable art.

Add this one-of-a-kind cuff to your collection and carry the spirit of vintage independence and artistic power wherever you go.
