Navajo Sterling Silver Cuff Watch Bracelet with Kokopelli Motif, Quartz Movement
A striking Navajo sterling silver cuff bracelet blending traditional silversmithing with functional design. The wide, hand-stamped cuff features bold geometric, sunburst, and lightning motifs radiating around a central bezel, which houses a quartz watch. The black watch dial displays mirrored Kokopelli figures—flute players long revered in Southwestern tradition as symbols of fertility, renewal, and joy.
This piece represents a mid-to-late 20th century Navajo practice of incorporating modern timepieces into handcrafted silver jewelry. The watch is powered by a reliable Miyota Caliber 2035 quartz movement (introduced in 1981 and still widely used), with case back marked: “Tino USA – Japan Movt 2035 – Stainless Steel Back.” The quad-shank construction provides strength and a balanced fit, while the natural silver patina highlights its handmade character. Both a wearable statement piece and a collectible example of cultural adaptation, it reflects the enduring artistry of Native American silversmiths.
