Serpentine Bracelet [SG-146]

This vintage Navajo serpentine-form cuff was crafted in heavy sterling silver, its flowing S-shaped body is overlaid with deep-stamped bird and leaf motifs, framed by silver raindrops that bring texture and rhythm to the design.

Set into the silver are two natural Morenci turquoise cabochons, alive with the pyrite inclusions that collectors prize. The Morenci mine in Arizona, once one of the richest turquoise producers, has been closed to turquoise recovery since the early 1980s, making stones of this quality increasingly scarce.

Unlike mass-produced work, this bracelet was entirely formed and stamped by hand, with bold repoussé and overlay silverwork that reflects the silversmith’s eye for balance and motion. Untouched old pawn patina.
