Vintage Navajo Sterling Silver Sandcast Cuff Bracelet – Floral, 73g
This vintage Navajo cuff bracelet exemplifies the artistry of traditional sandcast silverwork, a method dating back to the late 19th century. Using hand-carved tufa stone molds, Navajo silversmiths create one-of-a-kind designs that carry both cultural symbolism and individual expression. This bracelet features a bold floral-inspired motif, with radiating petals cut through the silver to reveal an airy yet powerful form. The sculptural lines along the shoulders further emphasize its handcrafted origin, each curve shaped by the flow of molten sterling poured into stone.
Weighing an impressive 73.13 grams, the cuff has a substantial presence while maintaining the elegance of balanced symmetry. Unmarked but tested as sterling silver, it represents a genuine example of vintage Navajo silversmithing. This piece is part of a matched set with Lots 402 and 403 (bracelet and ring), offering collectors the rare chance to acquire a cohesive group. Beyond adornment, such jewelry reflects the blending of Navajo tradition with modern expression, making it both wearable art and cultural history.
