Navajo Signed Green Turquoise and Sterling Silver Cuff

Navajo Signed Green Turquoise and Sterling Silver Cuff featuring an elegant example of Navajo silversmithing, this cuff bracelet features nine oval turquoise cabochons, each bezel set in a handcrafted sterling silver band with an internal circumference of 17cm (for a smaller wrist) and a width of 1.8cm.  The turquoise stones, measuring approximately 0.6cm high and 0.8cm wide, display a range of deep green hues with little to no matrix. 

Intricate feather motifs and twisted rope detail frame the stones, and the bangle has softened square ends ensuring a comfortable fit.  Weighing 37.2g, the silver exhibits a soft patina and subtle wear, enhancing its vintage character.  Marked 'STERLING' (slightly worn) and signed with partially worn initials 'CB' with the C in line with the top half of the B or it could be 'SB', 'EB' or 'FB' with wear to the bottom half of the first letter - please see photograph.  This piece is consistent with Navajo craftsmanship, likely from the mid-20th century.
