A complex and yet well-balanced matrix, with enough open green ground for the stone to read clearly and hold its presence on the wrist.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDamon’s silverwork keeps the setting clean and focused. A sawtooth bezel secures the cabochon and adds fine texture at the edge, while the stepped geometric border gives the face structure without crowding the stone. The three-tine shank is smooth, open, and deliberately understated, letting the turquoise remain the center of the design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eReference and market examples more commonly associate Damon with chip inlay, making this large bezel-set spiderweb turquoise cuff a less common example of his documented range. For collectors, that contrast adds to its appeal — a signed Damon Gilbert in a stone-forward setting with restrained Navajo construction is a rare find. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCollector-minded without excess, this cuff earns its presence through the character of the stone and the clarity of the silverwork design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1xvxpws\" data-start=\"2047\" data-end=\"2072\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHallmark \u0026amp; Maker Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis bracelet is signed with Gilbert Damon's hallmark — a stylized capital G, also associated in reference materials with the initials GD. His angular initial signature is reported to have been introduced around 1975, supporting the late-20th-century placement of this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDamon was born June 20, 1930, in Fort Defiance, Arizona, into the Tsi'naajinii (Black Streak Wood People Clan), born for Tódich'ii'nii (Bitter Water Clan). He attended BIA Indian School in Fort Defiance, the Albuquerque Indian School, and Chilocco Indian School in Chilocco, Oklahoma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHe served in the Korean War — one of approximately 10,000 Native Americans who answered that call, many of them veterans of World War II as well, whose service and sacrifice remain an enduring part of this nation's history. He later spent 20 to 25 years employed with the Navajo Forest Products Industry in the Sawmill region in Arizona. He was a silversmith and family man who loved his children. He passed away on April 15, 2016, in Payson, Arizona.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eReference materials and market examples most commonly document Damon's work in chip inlay — crushed turquoise, coral, and related materials set into recessed silver channels, often with etched or oxidized geometric backgrounds. Authentic signed Damon pieces now enter the market through estate and secondary channels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silver Cactus Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156207038661,"sku":"00020BR1NJ11439","price":655.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/0956\/9221\/files\/9280006.webp?v=1776524646","url":"https:\/\/www.silvercactusjewelry.com\/products\/gilbert-damon-navajo-turquoise-bracelet","provider":"Silver Cactus Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
