Nelson Emerson Navajo Sterling Silver & Turquoise Watch Cuff Bracelet
A bold and substantial Navajo sterling silver watch cuff bracelet by Nelson Emerson, signed with his hallmark and bull head symbol. Emerson, a self-taught silversmith from Haystack, New Mexico, is admired for his masterful stampwork and heavy silver designs. This impressive cuff integrates a Timex automatic watch (1.25″ diameter) into a traditional Navajo silver framework, set with six bezel-set turquoise cabochons averaging 7.3 × 11.1 mm. The wide band is richly decorated with leaf and bead motifs, showcasing Emerson’s signature sculptural style.
Weighing an impressive 181.41 grams, this bracelet is as much a statement of artistry as it is functional jewelry. Collectors of Native American silver will appreciate both the craftsmanship and scale of this piece, which reflects the blending of mid-20th century practicality with Navajo decorative traditions. With its strong presence and distinctive design, it makes a striking addition to any collection of Southwestern jewelry.
Condition:
Good vintage condition overall. The Timex watch crystal shows scratches and imperfections, and the watch movement has not been tested for accuracy. All turquoise stones are secure within their bezels. The silver displays natural patina from age and use; polishing is left to the buyer’s discretion.

- Overall: 2.25″ × 3″ × 1.5″
- Inner circumference: 7″ (with 1.25″ adjustable opening)
- Outer circumference: 9″ with opening
- Weight: 181.41 g
