This wide sterling silver turquoise cuff is attributed to Navajo silversmith Albert Jake. A large oval turquoise cabochon forms the centerpiece, with bright blue color crossed by intricate brown and golden-toned veining. A twisted rope border frames the stone, flanked by two raised thunderbird motifs and four fluted silver accents. Darkened horizontal channels and repeated stamped details give the broad band a strong contrast of light and shadow. Bold and substantial in appearance, the cuff makes a confident statement and puts the turquoise’s vivid color at the heart of the design.
