Early Navajo Sterling Silver Turquoise Cuff Bracelet (c. 1920–1930).
Early Navajo sterling silver cuff bracelet featuring seven hand-cut natural turquoise stones set in traditional plain bezels. The bracelet shows classic early silversmithing, with a strong split-shank form and a dark, untouched patina typical of work created before mass trading-post production.
True to early Navajo technique, the piece has no stamped decoration. Instead, it relies on applied silver elements, raised beads, simple bezels, and a balanced split-shank structure, to complement the turquoise. The heavy original patina further reflects authentic hand-forged construction from this period.

How to Make Sure Your Bracelet Will Fit
The best way to get a good fit is to measure a cuff bracelet you already have that fits you well and look for a bracelet with those dimensions.
If you don't have a cuff bracelet to use for comparison, then measure your wrist where you want to wear the bracelet.
Use a half inch wide strip of paper and wrap it around your wrist. Be sure that it completes its circumference over your wrist bone and is in comfortable contact with your skin the whole way around. Mark the paper where it begins to overlap with the start, lay it out flat, and measure from the start to the mark. This is your proper wrist circumference.
Buy your cuff bracelet in a size that is close to your wrist size so that the adjustment you need to make is small.
