This turquoise and spiny oyster overlay cuff by Navajo silversmith Marita Jackson is a statement piece of striking color and intricate craftsmanship. This handcrafted piece features a bold design of Kingman turquoise and spiny oyster shell inlaid within an overlay of sterling silver.
Marita, from Ganado, Arizona, is part of a family known for its artistry—wife of the late renowned silversmith Tommy Jackson, she has developed a signature style rooted in tradition yet deeply personal. Each piece she creates reflects years of collaboration, learning, and her own vision for Navajo jewelry.
Care instructions: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight container or anti-tarnish pouches, and avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, water, and prolonged sunlight. Regularly clean with a soft cloth and mild silver polish or a baking soda/water mixture and wear it often to maintain its luster.
