Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet and Ring Set
- About The Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet and Ring Set
- Sublimely good looking all silver hand-crafted cuff bracelet and ring set.
From the early 1900's when tourism was inventing the Southwest as we nostalgically think of it now, all of the work in this set was accomplished from ingot. Silver ingot was hammered, drawn, rolled, cut and decorated with hand-carved stamped. The domes are surrounded by silver raindrops individually made.
The silversmith who created this set was accomplished in multiple techniques and possessed a fine sense of design.
- About Navajo
- 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.
