Product Description
Tufa cast bracelet is set with beautiful high grade Lone Mountain turquoise and accented with five 14kt gold beads, handmade by Navajo artist, Edison Cummings.
Born in 1962, he studied at the Institute of American Indian Art – first painting, then sculpture – and at Arizona State University – where he discovered metalsmithing during his degree in education. In addition to his penchant for raised metal forms, since 2005 he has experimented with patterns in wood and stone: “Although these appear to be Loloma inspired, Cummings’ training first as a silversmith led him to embellish the stone and woodwork with inset bezel-set stones. This feature distinguishes his work from that of other jewelers,” says Diana Pardue in Contemporary Southwestern Jewelry.
