Vintage Navajo Turquoise 3-Piece Statement Set — Mega Cuff, Ring & Belt Buckle | Sterling Silver Rosette & Leaf Appliqué, Thompson Platero

A rare matched 3-piece Navajo turquoise set by celebrated silversmith Thompson Platero (d. 1991). This suite showcases Platero’s signature mid-century to 1970s design language — bold natural turquoise framed in dimensional sterling silverwork.

Set includes (3 pieces):

• Mega cuff bracelet — Size 17.8
• Ring — Size 11 3/4
• Belt buckle — 3.5” long x 2 3/4” tall

Materials & craftsmanship:

• Solid sterling silver
• Traditional Navajo hand-appliqué silverwork
• Repoussé rosette (concho flower) accents
• Hand-cut and stamped leaf appliqués
• Twisted rope wire framing
• Oxidized shadowbox depth for contrast

The Royston turquoise stones feature rich blue-green coloration with dramatic natural brown matrix, each uniquely shaped and set to anchor the sculptural silver composition.

Why it’s special:

Matched suites by a single Navajo maker — especially including a mega cuff and buckle — are increasingly scarce. This set reads as a complete collector statement: wearable, display-worthy, and historically grounded in traditional bench techniques.
