BR905 silver cuff bracelet Harpo

One of a Kind piece

Beautiful Navajo bracelet made with the Tufa Cast technique, one of the oldest jewelry processes used by the Navajo:

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.

This magnificent cuff bracelet features a real painting. The arrows are numerous. You are the spectator of a silent battle: the arrows don't match, they clash, cross and avoid each other throughout this Native American jewel. A shower of arrows symbolizes both protection and defense.

The background, tinted the same colors as the arrows, hints at their tips and feathers in certain brighter areas. The artist wanted to play with color to create a discreet contrast between light and shadow.

Finally, the artist frames this silent battlefield with a smooth, pure outline, as if to make it a true work of art.
