Large Size Vintage G. Stewart Southwestern Sterling Silver 3 Lapis Cuff Bracelet

  

On offer is an authentic, vintage SOUTHWEST N AVAJO inspired style hand wrought. 925 sterling silver cuff bracelet adorned with three (3) large hand-cut and polished natural royal blue Lapis Lazuli cabochon stones.

This bracelet is hallmarked G. Stewart, most likely for Geoffrey Stewart, Sterling, in a frame of hand-stamped motifs. We believe this cuff was created circa 1990 or perhaps earlier.

Cuff bracelet was skillfully executed in the SOUTHWEST NAVAJO technique with attention to detail and is in very good vintage condition. (please see ALL photos for an accurate detailed depiction). The cuff is decorated with raindrop beading all around.

The three (3) cabochon Lapis Lazuli stones are in very good condition with no chips or cracks and are firmly and securely set in smooth and serrated silver bezels surrounded by raindrop beading. The larger round shaped central stone measures approx.

3/4 diameter - the two (2) smaller oval stones are approx. 1/2" long x 3/8" wide. Overall, the cuff measures approx.

15/16" t apering to 7/16" wide with an interior circumference of approx. 7 3/8" including the 1 1/2" opening. The cuff has a bit of flexibility for adjusting and weighs a very hefty 48.0 grams - 1.545 ounces. This well crafted vintage Southwestern Navajo inspired style.

925 sterling silver and natural Lapis Lazuli cuff bracelet crafted by skilled artisan G. Stewart would make a classic addition to any Twentieth Century Southwestern or Native American Silver and Stone Jewelry, or Historic Cultural Arts and Crafts collection. We have been involved in the design and creation of contemporary jewelry at the undergraduate and postgraduate level since 1967. In 1975 we opened a gallery of hand wrought fine art contemporary jewels and have since handled thousands of unique, one of a kind and limited edition pieces crafted predominantly by American artisans with a special emphasis on Native American Art.
