This innovative Native American handmade sterling silver bracelet, was created by the master Native American silversmith, L. Bruce Hodgins. Centered on this unusual concave textured silver bracelet is an abstract figure the long piece of Peruvian Opal is the body, and Carnelian, the head, is the top stone. Applied silver beads and a lightening bolt, a symbol used often in this artist's work, complete the piece.

The bracelet measures 1-3/4" wide at the front, narrowing to 5/8" wide at the terminals, with an inside end-to-end inside measurement of 6-1/8" plus 1-3/16" gap. The bracelet is not very adjustable. My wrist measures 6" around and the bracelet is big on me, as shown in the last photo. The bracelet weighs 75.8 grams.

Brand new and in perfect condition. Gift Box and Certificate of Authenticity included. Hallmarked by the artist. One of a kind piece that is truly a work of art.

L. Bruce Hodgins is a member of I.A.C.A. and I had the pleasure of meeting him and purchasing this bracelet and other jewelry directly from him at the 2009 spring IACA wholesale market.
