Handcrafted by Navajo silversmith Thomas Yazzie, this striking sterling silver cuff features a beautiful Golden Hills turquoise cabochon framed by traditional silverwork and detailed stampwork. The bracelet showcases classic Navajo design elements, including hand-stamped patterns, silver bead accents, and a substantial sterling silver construction that highlights the artisan's craftsmanship.
Golden Hills turquoise, mined in Kazakhstan, is highly prized for its rare sky-blue to lavender-blue coloration and distinctive golden-brown matrix. Because of its limited availability and unique color palette, Golden Hills has become one of the most sought-after turquoise varieties in contemporary Native American jewelry.
Thomas Yazzie is known for creating jewelry that honors traditional Navajo silversmithing techniques while emphasizing exceptional stones and timeless Southwestern styling. This bracelet is a beautiful example of that tradition, combining collectible Golden Hills turquoise with expertly crafted sterling silver in a piece that is both elegant and highly wearable.
