On this piece
Cobblestone inlay is Navajo silversmithing at its most demanding: dozens of stones, cut to irregular shapes and fitted together like a paved street, no two the same, every edge flush. This cuff is the work of the Navajo artisans Bitsoi-Russell — turquoise and mother-of-pearl laid across the top of a substantial sterling band, the blues and whites shifting as your wrist turns. The name to know is on the piece: it’s signed with the distinctive Bitsoi-Russell mark, which is how you separate real Native craftsmanship from the imitations that flood the market. It’s a size 6, built to be worn hard and last. What you’re paying for isn’t just silver and stone; it’s the hours of hand-fitting no machine has ever managed to fake. A genuine, signed piece from working Navajo hands.
