Cuff bracelets made by Native American jewelers

The cuff bracelet, a timeless accessory, has stood the test of time and remains an eye-catching piece. There is a wide variety of models, in sterling silver or turquoise, ethnic or more classical, unique or small series, signed by renowned artists or small craftsmen, more or less voluminous. 

For Amerindians, wearing a cuff bracelet symbolizes strength, power and protection.

Native American jewelry expertise

At Harpo, we offer authentic jewelry designed by real Native Americans with incomparable expertise. We offer all kinds of cuff bracelets in solid silver, with or without turquoise. To help you understand the work of each tribe, here are a few explanations. 

Navajo style 

1- Solid silver cuff bracelets

The Navajo are renowned for their stamping work, which they produce using distinctive hallmarks. They design their own motifs, which they apply to solid silver by hammering, or create reliefs on silver cuff bracelets, using various soldering or repoussé techniques.

2- Turquoise cuff bracelets

The Navajo, renowned for their expertise in sterling silver jewelry, create cuff bracelets adorned with turquoise. Each stone is cut in its natural shape, then polished to bring out its most brilliant shades. 

For the Navajo, turquoise symbolizes strength and power.

Zuni style 

1- The Inlay cuff bracelet

Inlay is a speciality of the Zuni tribe, showcasing the excellence of their meticulous craftsmanship. The Zuni use fine stones and other natural materials, which they cut and polish by hand with great precision. This expertise is evident in their geometric and figurative creations, testifying to the cultural richness and delicacy of this ancestral tradition.

Hopi style 

1- The “Overlay” cuff bracelet

Overlay” is a Hopi specialty. This technique consists of superposing two silver plates of the same size, one cut according to a specific pattern and used as a stencil. It is then applied to the one below, creating a silver background. This background is oxidized and scraped to create contrast between the two pieces.

Most important of all:

Wearing Harpo jewelry is not just wearing jewelry. We are fortunate to be able to showcase the unique skills of the Native Americans. Its colors, shapes and materials conceal a long history and hard work that has been passed down from generation to generation.

When you wear a Harpo cuff bracelet, you feel the artist's pen. This is what makes the jewel exceptional, and what makes your outfit exceptional. A man in a suit or in more casual attire will be sublimated by a Native American cuff bracelet. It adds character to the outfit. It's all about daring to break codes by adding a touch of ethnicity.

You've heard us right: at Harpo, we like to say  “we go by our heart's desire”. If you fall in love with a piece of jewelry, it's because it's calling you. Don't think about it! Just go for it, and you'll be overwhelmed by the compliments.
