Vintage Navajo Tufa Cast Cuff Bracelet c. 1950s – Heavy Sterling Silver

Authentic vintage Navajo tufa cast cuff bracelet dating to approximately the 1950s. This piece wa•s created using the traditional tufa casting technique, where molten silver is poured into a hand-carved stone mold—resulting in a uniquely textured, one-of-a-kind design.  

The cuff has a substantial weight and presence, with an organic surface and sculptural quality characteristic of mid-century Navajo cast work.

• Weight: 77.7 grams
• Inner circumference: approx. 6 inches (not including gap)
• Gap opening: tight
• Total circumference: approx. 7 inches
• Best fit: approx. 5”–5.75” wrist (wears snug)

This bracelet sits close to the wrist due to the tighter opening and heavier gauge silver. A strong standalone statement piece or excellent addition to a Native American jewelry collection.

Unsigned, as is typical of many mid-century Navajo works—hallmarks were not consistently used until later decades.

Condition:
Vintage condition with natural patina and light wear consistent with age. No major damage. Please review all photos.
