Hi All, longtime reader, first time posting. I finally found a cuff for my small wrist and would love to know more about it. It is very thick and solid, no bend (not that I would try). No hallmarks of any kind. I can’t tell if it is modern unsigned or pre-60’s. The turquoise is quite blue with little green. The matrix looks black to me. Thoughts?

Thank you! In your opinion do you think it is contemporary or older?

The cast design has been around for a longtime, but is still made today. This came in the store yesterday from Aaron Anderson. Persian has been associated with Navajo jewelry for a very long time, but I think of a large portion arriving in the 1970s, slowing dramatically by 1980s. If I had to make a guess I would call it 1970s.

Thanks, that is super helpful. Ironically I saw another online with this similar cast design right after your post.
