Award-winning Navajo artist Andy Lee Kirk crafted this 14k gold bracelet using the tufa cast technique, featuring exceptional Lander Blue turquoise inlay with a matching square cabochon. The natural texture created by the tufa stone mold contrasts with the crisp gold bezels and fine inlay, while a single coral accent adds subtle color. Genuine Lander Blue turquoise is among the rarest American turquoise, mined from a small Nevada deposit that produced only about 100 pounds of gem-quality material before it was exhausted. Pieces incorporating Lander Blue of this quality are increasingly difficult to find, making this an excellent example of Andy Lee Kirk's goldwork and a noteworthy addition to any serious collection.
