Tantalizing Turquoise Cobble Channelwork Watch Cuff

This handsome watch cuff is a Dan Simplicio classic.

Using only the finest materials for this labor-intensive piece, Mr. Simplicio has created a work of art worthy of the nicest wind up watch passed down through the family or collected from another source.  

We've seen everything from vintage Timex to Rolex in cuffs like this one. Whether for business or pleasure, a watch cuff of his caliber will sooth the eye, every time the watch is consulted.

This particular band will comforably fit a size 7 inch wrist, men's or women's depending on the watch and the wearer. 

Mr. Simplicio was a wonderful artist who imbued each of his jewelry creations with a universal beauty and timeless wearability !

A Zuni jeweler who sometimes collaborated with Leekya Deyse, Lee Edaakie, Teddie Weahkee and Leo Poblano, Dan Simplicio was most active creating metal art between the 1920's through the late 1950's. Simplicio utilized gold as early as 1931, which may make him one of the first Zuni jewelers to work in gold.

He produced both fabricated and sandcast jewelry. Dan employed setting techniques to include nuggets, cluster formats, mosaic work and channel inlay. His uncle, Juan Dideos is acknowledged as Dan's main instructor.

His work is cited in every major publication chronicling 20th century Zuni jewelers. Dan's jewelry was included in the 2002 exhibition staged at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in Santa Fe "Jewels of the Southwest".
