BR831 turquoises and mat silver bracelet Harpo

One of a Kind piece

Beautiful Navajo bracelet set with twenty-five Number 8 turquoises (Nevada) on mat sterling silver.

This bracelet is the perfect blend of Navajo silversmithing skills, meticulous attention to detail and raw rendering:

The artist has meticulously cut twenty-five small turquoise stones into square shapes, mounted in closed settings. Imagine the time and talent required for this step! The setting of the bracelet contrasts beautifully with the many small turquoises, as it is made using the ancestral Tufa Cast technique.

The artist takes a mold made of volcanic stone (tufa) and divises it in two parts. In the first part, he carves a design of his choice, melts silver in and tightly covers it with the second part of the mold. Once the silver is hard, the mold eventually breaks, making this piece a unique item. This technique creates a jewel of traditional rough aspect on which we can clearly see the beautiful lumps of tufa stone.
