Description

Sterling Silver and Turquoise Bracelet
***Hallmarked Sterling KS***
***Large Royston Turquoise Stone***
***53.9 Grams of 925 Sterling Silver***
This vintage cuff bracelet was handmade by Diné Navajo artisan Kirk Smith. Beginning at a very young age, Smith's first experiences in jewelry making were with his grandfather. In the 1980s, under the tutelage of his brother in law Harry Morgan, he began truly honing his craft. This cuff bracelet presents beautifully, with intricately designed repousse stamp work, applique drops, and a hand wrought rope design. The focal point of this cuff is a large, natural Royston Turquoise stone, measuring approximately 27mm in length by 21.85 mm in width. Set in a smooth bezel, the Royston Turquoise stone is a gorgeous mixture of hues of blue and has a great presence of rich brown matrix. Fashioned from 53.9 grams of sterling silver, this piece has an inner circumference of 7 inches, a slightly flexible opening of 1¼ inches, and measures just over 1½ inches at the widest point of the face. Due to his untimely passing in 2012, the works of Kirk Smith have become highly sought after. Don't miss your opportunity to own this one of a kind piece of authentic Navajo jewelry!
