About The Artwork

Organic cuff bracelet by Native hands, there are 18 rough turquoise stones ranging in color from sky blue to deep teal. Each is set in a smooth bezel--9 each in two rows interspersed with silver "raindrops". There is a space cut between the two rows giving an impression of 2 individual bracelets that have wandered a little apart on the arm. The edges and back ends of the bracelet are decorated with fine line stamping and the ends each have an applied stamped repousse button. This is a meticulously conceived and accomplished piece! --A beautiful addition to Bohemian or Business wardrobe!

About The Artist

The Navajo were the first of the Native Americans of the Southwest to learn silversmithing from the Spanish. Most Navajo jewelry emphasizes silver, with turquoise stones used as an accent. Some pieces are cast in sand or tufa molds, while others are hammered, using a male stamp and a female die.
