Yazzie, Raymond Sterling Silver Lander Blue Turquoise Inalid Bracelet

$60,000.00

Yazzie, Raymond

 

This sterling silver cuff by Navajo jeweler Raymond Yazzie features some of the finest Lander Blue turquoise, known for its tight black matrix and deep, vivid color. Considered one of the rarest and most valuable turquoise varieties, Lander Blue adds a rich, powerful presence to this piece.

Raymond, known for his incredible precision and complex inlay work, accented the turquoise with hand-cut stones including coral, lapis, sugilite, and gold. Each piece is shaped and fitted with exacting care, creating a mosaic that feels both organic and refined. The silver is hand-etched with clean, flowing lines that frame the inlay and carry movement across the bracelet.

What sets Raymond Yazzie apart is his ability to take traditional Navajo techniques and push them to their highest level. His work isn’t just about decoration—it’s about balance, color, and craftsmanship at its peak. This cuff is a standout example of that vision.

Bracelet Sizing Guide: How to Measure Your Wrist for the Perfect Fit

Choosing the right bracelet size is essential for both comfort and style. Whether you’re purchasing a cuff or a link design, our simple guide below will help you measure your wrist accurately and find the ideal fit.

Step-by-Step: How to Measure Your Wrist

You only need a flexible measuring tape, a strip of paper, or a string.

Option 1: Using a Flexible Measuring Tape

  1. Wrap the tape snugly around your wrist just above the wrist bone (the area where you would normally wear a watch).
  2. Note the measurement in inches or centimeters.
  3. This is your wrist size.

Option 2: Using a String or Strip of Paper

  1. Wrap the string or paper around your wrist in the same location (above the wrist bone).
  2. Mark the point where the string overlaps.
  3. Lay the string flat and measure it with a ruler.
  4. This is your wrist size.

Choosing the Right Fit

Different bracelet styles may fit differently. Here’s a general guideline based on the style of bracelet:

Cuff Bracelets (Non-Adjustable)

Cuffs should fit snugly but comfortably. We recommend adding 1/4″ to 1/2″ to your wrist measurement depending on your desired fit:

  • Snug Fit: Add 1/4″
  • Comfort Fit: Add 1/2″

Example: If your wrist measures 6″, a cuff bracelet that is 6 1/4″ to 6 1/2″ total (including the opening) would be ideal.

Chain or Link Bracelets

For flexible bracelets with clasps:

  • Add 1/2″ to 3/4″ to your wrist measurement for a comfortable fit.
  • A looser fit can be achieved by adding up to 1 inch.
