J LEE Signed Sterling Silver Watch Cuff - Native American / Southwest, Modern Fusion

This is a very unique piece! I've found a similar cuff online in terms of the tricolor metal work, swirls, and general design and quality of workmanship, but the piece I've found to compare this with is made my a more well known Navajo jeweler, Allen Chee. His and a cuff I found online of this same style at known "shops" platforms were priced at $375 and $400 when I obtained this beauty, and started taking notes.

I'm going to price this at the nice, round even number of $300. J LEE has a bit of mystique. And I noticed the LEE appears to be one stamp, and the J another. Is this a family affair? I'll leave further research to those reading here who wish.

I'm editing this on January 22, 2023 to incorporate feedback from a "Mexican jewelry" group I joined (presuming this Southwestern / Native American, but the expertise in that group, I felt valuable for this piece. I've also rephotographed using white, which is going to be my "go-to" for now. This listing will have a mix of what I was doing in 2022 and the early-2023 white. 225 accessed this before my edit.

The input from the group was that I should list this as is, and let the purchaser embellish it as they desired. Input included someone saying they had a watch cuff that fatigued at the clamp due to changing the watch battery, over time. So my thinking was to go with a good self-winding watch, or an old fashioned wind watch if the person wanting to wear this beautiful piece wanted a time piece in it.

Other suggestions were to have a stone set in the space. I had envisioned something along the lines of taking an old watch that fit the space, but using it as a "tabula rasa" to paint something innovative, personal, etc. At any rate, I'm taking the advise I was given and selling this "as is" for YOU to complete!
