About The Silver and Gold Cuff Bracelet

Handsome cuff in sterling silver and 14 K yellow gold is an absolute geometric statement, reflective of Post Modern design and Navajo textile patterns. This piece has timeless appeal transcending the period in which it was created.

Spare and clean, like something built for speed, this bracelet asks for no quarter and gives none. The work is as precise as it gets crafted by hand! The hammer forged low dome is even and comfortable. Only inside the bracelet did Mr. Begaye intentionally leave some trace of the effort put into this sculpture to wear.

From boardroom to ballet, this wonderful cuff makes a beautiful, sophisticated statement.
