Sterling Silver, Kingman Turquoise Inlay Cuff Bracelet
This sterling silver, Kingman turquoise inlay cuff bracelet by Navajo artist Lee Wesley of Sanders, Arizona, showcases exceptional lapidary skill and precise inlay workmanship. The central inlay cabochon features hand-cut Kingman turquoise stones fitted into sterling silver channels in a flush inlay design, framed by hammered silver patterns and linear detailing. Four turquoise stones on each side lead to sterling silver feather details at the ends of the cuff, completing the balanced and symbolic design.
Flush inlay work requires years of lapidary experience and precision stone cutting, and this cuff reflects master-level craftsmanship. Each stone is carefully shaped and set to fit seamlessly within the silver channels, creating a smooth, continuous surface. Lee Wesley’s work demonstrates not only silversmithing skill but also the artistry of a master lapidary—where stone and silver meet with precision, patience, and experience. The result is a cuff that reflects both technical excellence and traditional Navajo design elements.
Special care instructions: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight container or anti-tarnish pouches, and avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, water, and prolonged sunlight. Regularly clean with a soft cloth and mild silver polish or a baking soda/water mixture, and wear it often to maintain its luster.
