Description

A single, oval piece of beautiful blue-green turquoise set horizontally along a sterling silver shank comprises the focal point of this traditional cuff bracelet by Navajo silversmith Walter Vandever.  The stone, which contains portions of brown and golden matrix, is set in a notched sterling silver bezel and surrounded at the base by a row of thin, domed sterling silver bands.  This, in turn, is surrounded by a thicker sterling band stamped and cut out on top and bottom, the identical patterns offsetting one another diagonally.  Stone and silverwork rest atop a thrice split, brushed sterling silver shank, the center of which comprises a sterling silver rope pattern.  Shank merges almost immediately.  1 1/4″ wide with an inner end to end measurement of 5 3/8″ and a 1 1/4″ opening.  Cuff is somewhat adjustable.
