BR926 turquoise and silver bracelet Harpo

One of a Kind piece - Navajo bracelet 

This stunning thick sterling silver bracelet is inlaid with Kingman turquoise (Arizona) using the “Cobble Inlay” technique.

The sterling silver setting perfectly complements the raised inlay above it. Each stone is carefully selected, and each square or rectangular shape is precisely aligned, creating a rhythm that is both regular and lively.

Turquoise, in all its shades, is fascinating: from light blues to deeper hues, sometimes crossed by dark veins, like traces of its history. The arrangement of the stones creates a striking visual harmony, both raw and refined.

The contrast with the handcrafted silver reveals the richness of the textures and colors. A piece with a strong character, combining mineral strength and timeless elegance.

Inlay work is an emblematic technique of Zuni jewelry, interpreted here with virtuosity by a Navajo artisan. This bracelet is a remarkable example, made using the cobble inlay method. The term “cobble,” meaning “pavé” in English, perfectly describes this meticulous work, where each stone, cut and laid in relief, forms an organic-looking mosaic. Both solid and delicate, it is a work of art in itself. The term “cobble” perfectly describes this meticulous work, where each stone, cut and set in relief, forms an organic-looking mosaic. Both solid and refined, this process blends tradition and modernity in striking harmony.
