Presents beautifully with no noted issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eThis extraordinary one-of-a-kind sterling silver cuff by acclaimed Navajo artist Alvin Yellowhorse showcases the complete artistry that has made him one of the most respected contemporary Native American jewelers. Featuring hand-cut Lone Mountain turquoise, richly colored red coral, and an intricately sculpted diamondback rattlesnake inspired by the Arizona landscape surrounding his home, this bracelet represents exceptional craftsmanship from start to finish.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many jewelers, Yellowhorse is a complete artist. He personally purchases rough gemstone material and cuts many of the stones used in his jewelry, allowing him complete artistic control over every stage of the process. From selecting the rough stone to fabricating the silverwork, each element is thoughtfully executed entirely by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bracelet's substantial sterling silver cuff demonstrates an extraordinary level of craftsmanship. Rather than relying on commercially produced components, the band is individually fabricated and meticulously hand-filed to create its distinctive textured surface. This painstaking process produces remarkable depth and precision while giving the bracelet its unmistakable character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEqually impressive are the expertly handcrafted bezels that perfectly frame each gemstone. The vivid Lone Mountain turquoise displays exceptional spiderweb matrix and brilliant blue coloration, beautifully balanced by a striking hand-cut red coral cabochon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowing gracefully across the bracelet is an incredibly detailed diamondback rattlesnake, a species native to the Arizona landscape where Yellowhorse lives. The snake was intentionally chosen by the artist as a tribute to the environment that inspires his work. Every curve, contour, and hammered detail has been carefully sculpted by hand, creating a remarkable sense of movement while showcasing Yellowhorse's exceptional silversmithing skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubstantial at 98 grams, this is a museum-quality example of contemporary Navajo jewelry that embodies the artistry, innovation, and craftsmanship for which Alvin Yellowhorse has become internationally recognized.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sterling Style Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48120949866722,"sku":"242","price":2229.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/9435\/1586\/files\/SKU0242-3262.jpg?v=1785472215"},{"product_id":"alvin-yellowhorse-darling-darlene-turquoise-sugilite-sterling-silver-and-18k-gold-statement-ring","title":"Alvin Yellowhorse Darling Darlene Turquoise \u0026 Sugilite Sterling Silver and 18K Gold Statement Ring","description":"\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSterling silver and 18K gold; Darling Darlene turquoise and sugilite; \u003cbr\u003eUS size approximately 8.75–9; \u003cbr\u003e2.34\" long × 0.85\" wide; \u003cbr\u003eband approximately 0.70\" tapering to 0.40\"; \u003cbr\u003e38 grams. \u003cbr\u003eExcellent condition.

Alvin cut both stones himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe settings demonstrate the same attention to construction. The bezels are 18K gold—confirmed by Alvin and by XRF testing—with sterling silver backing carefully positioned beneath the bezel. This recessed construction allows the gold to define the visible profile surrounding the stones rather than interrupting it with an exposed silver edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween the two stones is an extraordinary sculptural passage inspired by the twisted metalwork found in Yellowhorse's bracelet designs. Notched sections of triangular wire are twisted to bring the cut surfaces outward, producing a dimensional succession of projecting forms and textured surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven the shank is treated as an integral part of the composition.
