Dry Creek Cuff on Four-Strand Twisted Wire, by Chris Yazzie

Dry Creek Cuff on Four-Strand Twiste

This Dry Creek turquoise cuff by renowned silversmith Chris Yazzie is a masterwork of balance between stone and silver. The centerpiece features genuine Dry Creek turquoise — prized for its rare pale blue hue with delicate cream-to-brown matrix — set securely in a hand-cut bezel.

The cuff itself is built on a substantial four-strand twisted sterling silver wire, giving it strength, texture, and a striking visual weight. Yazzie’s craftsmanship is evident in every detail: from the precision of the setting to the way the silver’s twist catches the light with movement.

Dry Creek turquoise is among the most collectible stones, known for its limited supply and unmistakable soft color palette. This cuff blends that rarity with traditional Navajo silversmithing techniques, resulting in a piece that’s both heirloom-worthy and versatile enough to wear daily.
