Navajo Shadow Box Cuff ~ Kingman Turquoise
Navajo Shadow Box Cuff ~ Kingman Turquoise
The beauty of hand made traditional Navajo jewellery is something to treasure. They feature authentic detailing and are powerful pieces to wear and cherish
Their pricing is more than regular jewellery, as they are entirely handcrafted by an artist not a machine! People who appreciate this ancient spiritual silversmithing art will love these pieces just as much as I do, enjoy…
IMPORTANT: Cuffs need to be put on correctly, there is an easy comfy way to do this below
Please don’t force them on the wide part of your wrist or pry them open, this will distort the silver and may pop the setting if force is used
1. Turn your wrist sideways, palm facing yourself inwards
2. Gently slide the opening of the cuff across your wrist with the turquoise facing you and then position to centre
Please be gentle with your cuff, we aren’t responsible if you bend your silver! We also aren’t responsible if you snap it. Jewellery needs to be handled with care and these pieces will last a lifetime if you do this!
