Product Description
This Sterling Silver Repousse, Chased, Filed, Textured and Stamped Cuff Bracelet was handmade by Navajo Artist, Edison Cummings. This wonderful bracelet weighs near 5 ounces! The repousse and stamp work is beautifully done and the chasing on the edges is excellent.
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.
