Details from Your Photo

• Material: Sterling silver (patina suggests it’s vintage, consistent with 1980s origin)
• Stone: Large turquoise cabochon, possibly Sleeping Beauty or Royston (the matrix pattern leans toward Royston or possibly Pilot Mountain)
• Workmanship: Handcrafted Navajo-style cuff with traditional elements:
  • Rope bezel
  • Stamped & repoussé leafwork
  • Multiple silver bead accents
  • Three-split shank for stability and balance

Unsigned Piece – Effect on Value

While a silversmith’s signature can significantly raise collector interest and value (especially for known artists), many excellent Native American cuffs from the 1970s–80s were unsigned, especially when sold through trading posts and small artisan shops in AZ and NM.

Unsigned pieces are usually valued on:

1. Quality of the turquoise
2. Craftsmanship
3. Condition
4. Market demand

Market Comparison

• Unsigned, 1980s Navajo cuffs with similar turquoise size and silver weight generally sell for:
  • $250–$400 (lightweight, simpler designs)
  • $400–$650 (larger stone, heavy silver, more detailed work like yours)

Given the large, eye-catching stone and quality silverwork, yours leans toward the $500–$650 range in the current retail market.
