Freeform Turquoise 25-Stone Wide Cluster Cuff by William Vandever, Navajo

William Vandever, a Navajo silversmith, hand-cut and set 25 freeform turquoise stones across this wide sterling silver cuff in a full-coverage cluster arrangement. Freeform cluster work — in which irregularly shaped natural cabochons are individually bezeled and fitted together without gaps — is one of the most technically demanding forms in Navajo silversmithing, as each stone must be shaped and set to fit precisely against its neighbors. The natural variation in stone color and matrix across 25 pieces creates an organic, landscape-like composition. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
