Jennifer Curtis Vintage Navajo Sterling Silver Toggle Cuff Links
This handsome pair of vintage sterling silver cuff links showcases the sculptural, hand-wrought sensibility associated with Navajo silversmith Jennifer Curtis. Each face takes an elongated, asymmetrical cartouche form alive with flowing repoussé and stamped detail: scrolling acanthus-like leaves and shell motifs sweep outward from a smooth, raised oval centerpiece encircled by a finely beaded rope border. The relief work is deep and confident, the kind of dimensional metalwork that reads as miniature sculpture rather than flat decoration, with curling tendrils and ridged feathering that give the pieces movement and a pleasing tactile quality. The smooth domed center is left unset and unadorned, providing a polished focal point that balances the busier organic flourishes surrounding it. Construction is solidly traditional, with the decorative fronts mounted to functional toggle backs designed to pass through a shirt cuff and pivot to lock securely in place. The silver carries a genuinely vintage character: a warm, darkened patina pools in the recesses and crevices of the stampwork while the high points and central ovals retain a softer sheen, exactly the contrast collectors look for as evidence of age and authentic hand-finishing rather than machine polishing. Both links appear complete and structurally sound, with crisp detail throughout and only the light surface wear and oxidation expected of an older estate piece; the toggle fittings look intact and serviceable. The matched pair, free-flowing Southwestern-meets-Victorian styling, and substantial hand-formed presence make these especially appealing to collectors of Native American silver, vintage menswear accessories, and artisan-made furnishings. They offer real wearability for formal French-cuff dressing while doubling as small collectible objects with the distinctive character and craftsmanship of genuine handmade Navajo work.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)
Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.
This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
