A Vintage Navajo Butterfly Cuff is a type of handcrafted bracelet originating from Navajo artisans in the American Southwest, typically dating from the mid-20th century (e.g., 1940s–1970s) or earlier. It's a staple of Native American jewelry, blending traditional silversmithing techniques with symbolic motifs like the butterfly, which represents transformation, joy, beauty, and harmony with nature in Navajo and broader Indigenous cultures. These cuffs are often "old pawn" style—pieces traded or pawned at trading posts, adding historical authenticity and patina.
