Turquoise Mountain Turquoise | Sterling Silver
Navajo silversmith Melvin Francis is known for making pieces that feel right the moment you put them on, and this cuff is a perfect example. Built from half-dome wire, the bracelet has a lighter, easy-wearing feel that makes it ideal for everyday use without sacrificing presence.
Running from end to end is a consistent stamped pattern, clean and deliberate, giving the piece a sense of rhythm and flow. It’s a simple design, but one that shows the hand of the maker and a strong understanding of traditional Navajo silverwork.
At the center sits a rectangular cut of Turquoise Mountain turquoise, a stone prized for its tight, intricate web of golden matrix set against a bright blue-green background. The contrast in the stone brings life to the piece, drawing the eye without overwhelming the design.
Comfortable, balanced, and rooted in tradition, this is the kind of bracelet you’ll find yourself reaching for day after day.

It’s a familiar story in Native American jewelry: one generation passes the craft to the next. That’s how Navajo silversmith Melvin Francis got his start. From the time he was eight, Melvin sat at his father Ted Francis’s workbench—watching, helping, and slowly learning the skills that would shape his life. Today, Melvin still uses many of the same tools his late father once held in his hands.
