Description :
Substantial heavy guage sterling silver & turquoise with copper veining polished stone. The stone alone measure 1.5" x 1.75" and cuff opening is 1.5". Signed, vintage designer piece. This stunning Orville Tsinnie sterling silver and turquoise cuff bracelet features classic multi-shank wire work and distinct artisan hallmark stamping on the reverse. The setting features a substantial, highly desirable slab of Royston turquoise. Its strong aqua-to-mint color zoning and thick, golden-brown rock matrix make it a highly collectible, visually striking centerpiece. The heavy-gauge framework, pristine twisted wire wrapping, and deep chisel-notched bezel are representative of his best signature hand-fabricated work, which heavily drives buyer interest. Orville Tsinnie (1943–2017) was a world-renowned, master Navajo (Diné) silversmith who operated out of his studio in Shiprock, New Mexico. Known for his exceptional precision and meticulous eye for detail, his legacy remains highly influential in the world of indigenous American art. His museum-grade creations are heavily collected and have been proudly exhibited at Santa Fe’s annual Indian Market, the Heard Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
