Southwestern elegance with bold, handcrafted character. This vintage Navajo cuff bracelet features two striking turquoise cabochons with earthy brown matrix, expertly bezel-set in sterling silver. Surrounded by signature silver raindrops and stylized feather motifs, the design is powerful, symmetrical, and undeniably timeless. Signed by Navajo silversmith R. Thomas, this 1970s-era piece represents a golden age of Native American jewelry where artistry and cultural expression came together in wearable form.

Split-shank construction lends strength and comfort, while oxidized silver enhances the depth of every detail. The turquoise—likely from a Nevada mine such as Royston—adds a rich organic texture and color contrast that makes this piece a standout.
