Important Kirk Smith (d) Vintage Native American Navajo Turquoise Sterling Silver Bracelet

This is an incredible vintage Navajo single stone silver cuff bracelet handmade by the incredibly famous artist, Kirk Smith. This phenomenal bracelet contains a large chunky beautiful green to blue colored Royston turquoise stone. Surrounding the stone are impeccable silver works that consist of raindrops, ropes and repoussed shells. This bracelet is very thick and sturdy and contains beautiful end deep sun stamp works. I love how the artist wonderfully made the cuff to graduate in width towards the center.
