Heavy Kingman Spiderweb Turquoise Cuff Bracelet by Delbert Gordon

This striking statement cuff bracelet handcrafted by Delbert Gordon ("D Gordon") features a central oval-shaped Kingman "spiderweb" turquoise stone wrapped in a hand sawed sawtooth bezel wire surrounded by a high ornate silverwork design. Twisted wire and raised fan, spiral, bead, and leaf-like elements wrap around and flank the stone's setting on either side. Cuff has a heavy, solid silver band, with deep oxidation and deep stamping featured on the inside. Handsome example of Navajo craftsmanship!
