Beautiful Sterling Silver Heavy Gauge Silver Cuff Bracelet with Stamp, Chisel and File Work by Navajo Jewelry Artist and Silversmith Jennifer Curtis

SOLD

Product Description

This is a beautiful Sterling Silver lady’s cuff bracelet with stamp, chisel and file work in heavy-gauge silver by award-winning Navajo jewelry artist and silversmith, Jennifer Curtis.  Bracelet measures 5-1/8″ inside with a 1-1/8″ opening.

Jennifer describes the difficult and time consuming process to make these heavy bracelets:

“I lay out the design on heavy square wire while it’s still flat.  I then stamp where I need and chisel the lines on all sides.  I bend the thick silver wire on a metal shaft by hand. I then file the design with a regular rectangular metal file, which is hours of labor.  It’s very difficult to bend the thick silver and can bruise my hand if I hit it in the wrong area.  I filed the bottom part of the bracelet before bending, it’s easier this way.”
