This high quality sterling silver & turquoise bracelet was created by the ever popular, award winning Navajo artist, Daniel Sunshine Reeves. The bracelet is set with a genuine natural Kingman Turquoise stone, the color of a New Mexico sky with brown matrix.
Renowned Navajo silversmith Daniel Sunshine Reeves has won many awards for his work and has exhibited in shows and museums throughout the country. Sunshine, along with his brother Gary and half-brothers, Darrel and Andy Cadman, learned the silver smith craft from his father and older brother. As the Cadmans and Reeves all apprenticed together, they show a great deal of similarity in their work intricate stamp work and their use of high quality stones.While each artist has his own individual style, they all share an affinity for complex engraved and hand stamped geometric designs and they are all a part of recreating and popularizing the old Navajo designs of the early 20th century. They call their style Navajo Revival Style.
The bracelet measures about 5/8 wide with an inside end-to-end measurement of 5-1/2 plus a 1-1/8 opening gap. It weighs 36 grams. I have a 6 wrist and the bracelet is a bit loose on me.
