Sterling Curved Cuff with Cut and Stamped Geometric Overlay
Charlie John
- About The Sterling Curved Cuff with Cut and Stamped Geometric Overlay
The unusual curvator of this particular piece is quite rare among Charlie John bracelet designs. When worn on the right wwrist, with the offset peak at the top, a resulting reverse scallop of valley beautifully cradles the outer prominence of the wrist bone. The gleaming bottom curving of his cuff, with its sweeping dark lines, frames the top of the hand on which it comfortably rests.
Splendid architecture and graceful wearability make this Charlie John design a timeless classic.

| About the Artist | (Born circa 1952, Navajo), Charlie John has been actively crafting jewelry from the 1980's forward. John is cited as "a master of combining overlay with stampwork. He creates delicate and sophisticated jewelry with high grade natural turquoise. His unique style is assisted by his having fashioned his own stamps".
