Kee Yazzie' double-overlay shadowbox Navajo cuff w/pristine Sleeping Beauty turquoise. #2492

Wow.  What a difference between this and the lightweight, thin-framed, boring touristy cuffs so prevalent now.  This is how a stellar piece of Native American jewelry looks and feels.  The Drifter is so tempted to spend about ten minutes on this with a polishing cloth.  Heck, then you'd hafta' wear shades!  And, it has three pristine, oblong pieces of Sleeping Beauty turquoise, from the famous Arizona mine of the same name that closed in 2012.  Total inside circumference of this magnificent cuff is 6.5-inches—including the one-inch 'gap.'  The wearer needs a 6 and 3/8th's, up to a 6 and 5/8th's total wrist circumference, measured around the wristbone.  Don't buy it if you don't fit into that size range.  Bend the cheap, flimsy stuff and leave this masterpiece alone.  Lengthwise across the face it is two-inches, then it tapers down to one-inch on each side, 'til it flares back out to 1 and 7/8th's-inches near the ends.  Nice!  Weight is 86.5-grams, or a very respectable three-ounces!  Hallmarked with an unusual combination of a K and a Y (see hallmark on 3rd pic).
