ABOUT THIS PIECE:

This Harvey Era Navajo bracelet showcases three exquisite green turquoise stones, with characteristics closely associated with Cerrillos deposits, traditionally prized for their rich green hues and natural variations. Smoothly domed and arranged in a classic trio, this cuff showcases a balanced presence with a defined center focus. The cabochons rest atop an equally compelling twisted-wire sterling silver shank, blending their elegance with the strength of the flat-wire design.

Gracefully flanking the side stones, the two small applied hand-chased eagle motifs serve as restrained decorative accents rather than as overt symbolism, an approach associated with the Harvey Era, in which harmony and measured proportion were favored, and ornamentation was intentionally simple. The symmetry of the elements, shank style, and absence of a signature are indicative of 1950s jewelry, created for wearability, longevity, and understated sophistication rather than authorship.

The result is a cuff that feels timeless and quietly expressive, reflecting the subtle confidence of mid-century Native American silverwork. A conversation piece for social gatherings, this cuff is also comfortable and compact enough for everyday wear. 

PERFECT FOR:

• Stand-alone styling or layering without overpowering other pieces


• Collectors of Harvey Era Native American jewelry


• Admirers of green turquoise stones


• Those drawn to symmetrical designs with a defined center focus


• Boho-Chic enthusiasts seeking vintage, artisan-made bracelets


• Anyone who values mid-century jewelry with historical significance
