Sterling Silver & Golden Hills Turquoise Stone Bracelet By Genevieve Francisco
Delicate in scale but rich in detail — this handcrafted Golden Hills turquoise cuff bracelet by Navajo artist Genevieve Francisco is a masterclass in traditional stampwork silversmithing. A single freeform Golden Hills turquoise cabochon takes center stage, its soft powder-blue color drifting into pale sky tones with delicate russet-brown matrix branching across the surface like fine brushstrokes.
The stone is set in a rope-twist bezel and flanked on each side by an elaborate arrangement of fan-stamped shadowbox shields with deeply incised radiating lines, paired with volute scroll accents at the corners and four starshots anchoring the composition. The result is a setting that frames the stone with the same care and symmetry you'd find in a much larger piece — all on a slim, elegant sterling band.
