Navajo Chimney Butte Emerald Valley Turquoise Sand Cast Sterling Silver Cuff – Handcrafted & Signed

This striking sterling silver cuff bracelet is a new, signed creation by Navajo artist Chimney Butte, renowned for his bold, sculptural designs and mastery of traditional silversmithing.

At its center is a genuine Emerald Valley turquoise stone, prized for its vivid green hue with golden-brown matrix. The stone’s rich, earthy tones complement the substantial sterling silver setting, giving this piece both elegance and strength.

This is a quintessential Chimney Butte cuff, created using the traditional sand cast method — a time-honored Navajo technique where molten silver is poured into a hand-carved sand mold. Each mold is destroyed after casting, ensuring that every piece is truly one-of-a-kind. The sand casting creates a subtle, organic texture and solid weight, adding depth and authenticity to the design.

Two distinctive crescent-like forms frame the turquoise, with concho-style silver accents on either side. The bold openwork design allows the cuff to make a strong statement while remaining comfortable to wear.
