Kingman Turquoise Channel Inlay Cuff by Lester James (Navajo)

Kingman Turquoise | Sterling Silver

Clean, confident, and easy to wear—this Kingman turquoise cuff by Navajo artist Lester James highlights the quiet strength of simplicity done right. Known for blending traditional tufa casting with precise lapidary work, James delivers a piece that feels both grounded and refined.

A single row of hand-cut Kingman turquoise stones runs seamlessly across the face, each one carefully fitted into a channel inlay. The stones display a rich spectrum of blue tones, accented by natural matrix that shifts subtly from piece to piece, giving the bracelet depth without overwhelming its clean profile.

The cuff itself is tufa cast, with a softly textured surface that contrasts beautifully against the smooth polish of the inlay. That natural, organic finish continues along the inside, a signature touch that speaks to the handmade process behind the work.

Slim enough to stack yet strong enough to stand on its own, this is the kind of bracelet you reach for every day—effortless, versatile, and unmistakably Navajo.
