Truly stunning and seriously impressive genuine Native American cuff bracelet. Heavy set chunky sterling silver with the most fabulous inlay mosaic made from onyx, turquoise, coral, mother of pearl and lapis lazuli. Intricate celestial design featuring a Zuni Sunface, moon and stars, it’s an outstanding piece of art. Celestial designs carry spiritual meaning in Native American culture, reflecting the connection between people and the universe. On Willie Shaw’s cuffs, these symbols come together to reflect balance, harmony and the way all life is connected. Stamped WS Sterling. Attributed to award winning Native American artist Willie Shaw. His work is world renowned and featured in museums and galleries.
It’s in lovely condition. As this is a vintage piece there are some very minor marks as expected, including a very small dimple on the band. The inlay is near perfect, but there is a very very slight gap around the moon piece of stone. All pictured but only noticeable when closely inspecting. Otherwise in great condition, it’s a remarkable piece of jewellery. It comes in a premium gift box.
Size approx 6.1cm at its widest point. It’s a very solid cuff so no flexibility for adjustment.
Weight 50g. As this piece contains over 7.78g of silver, it has been independently tested and subtly hallmarked by the Birmingham Assay Office. Its UK hallmark confirms that the silver meets the standard of 925 fineness.
