Weahkee Sterling Silver Cuff with Multi-Stone Geometric Inlay

This handcrafted Zuni cuff is a stunning example of traditional inlay artistry combined with elegant design. Measuring 5/16" at its widest point, the narrow sterling silver band features a geometric center inlay of triangular and rectangular stones: onyx, coral, and Sleeping Beauty turquoise, arranged in a bold, modern pattern.

The cuff’s tapered band includes cutout details on each side, adding depth and visual interest, while a delicate rope border runs along the top and bottom edges for a refined finish. Inside, the piece measures 2 ½" across with a 1 ⅜" gap, making it ideal for a comfortable fit.

Signed “Weahkee,” this piece reflects the legacy of the renowned Zuni Weahkee family, celebrated for their precision inlay work and cultural artistry. Perfect for collectors and lovers of authentic Native American jewelry, this cuff is both wearable art and a testament to Zuni craftsmanship.

The Weahkee family holds an important place in Zuni art history. Led by the legendary Teddy Weahkee (1890–1965), they were instrumental in reviving traditional Zuni jewelry and fetish carving during the early 20th century. Teddy’s work, often commissioned by traders like C.G. Wallace, set the standard for intricate mosaic inlay and naturalistic carving that remains iconic today. His descendants continue this legacy, producing highly collectible pieces that honor Zuni cultural traditions while showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. A hallmark bearing the Weahkee name signifies authenticity, artistry, and a direct connection to one of the most respected lineages in Native American jewelry.
