Description from the seller
L. James – Monumental Signed Native American Sterling Silver 925 & Natural Turquoise Cuff Bracelet – 122 g
An exceptional handcrafted Native American cuff bracelet by the renowned silversmith L. James, signed “L. James Sterling” on the reverse.
This remarkable bracelet is entirely handmade in Sterling Silver (925) and showcases the bold, architectural style that has made L. James highly appreciated among collectors of Southwestern and Native American jewelry.
The impressive design features a wide oxidized sterling silver body richly decorated with numerous natural turquoise cabochons, each individually bezel-set and alternating with polished silver domes that create a striking three-dimensional “raindrop” effect. The upper and lower borders are embellished with finely executed hand-cut turquoise inlay, separated by delicate geometric sterling silver divisions, producing an elegant balance between texture, symmetry and colour.
Its substantial construction and outstanding craftsmanship immediately convey the quality expected from an accomplished Native American silversmith. Every element has been carefully assembled and finished by hand, resulting in a powerful statement piece that is equally suitable for collectors and for everyday wear.
The reverse retains the original maker’s signature:
L. James
Sterling
confirming the authenticity of the bracelet.
The bracelet remains in very good vintage condition, with a beautiful original patina. Light surface wear and fine scratches are consistent with age and careful use and should be considered part of its vintage character.
