Description
Hopi artist Darren Seweyestewa created this incredibly detailed bracelet through the overlay technique. Hopi overlay is constructed from two layers of sterling silver. A design is cut out with a jeweler’s saw by hand. This top design layer is then silver soldered to another sheet, the bottom layer, of silver. Texturing is added to the bottom layer in all the open areas of the design using a hammer and a small punch. The piece is then formed to its final shape and size. The bottom layer is then oxidized to enhance the design. A stunning addition of high-quality craftsmanship to your jewelry wardrobe. Weighs 8 grams. The entire inner circumference is about 6 5/8”, including 1 1/8” opening. Signed.
1/4” wide
Artist card included
