Here is another incredible Navajo hand made sterling silver turquoise bracelet by Native American silversmith Andy Cadman. The bracelet features a natural Royston turquoise stone set in a straight bezel, accented with twisted silver wire and applied sterling silver beads and other accents. The bracelet is stamped from end to end with the old style stampwork for which Andy Cadman is well known. The turquoise stone is a bright greenish color with a honey colored matrix throughout.
The cuff measures 1 inch wide and has an inside end-to-end measurement of 5-1/4 inch plus an opening gap of 1-1/4 inch. My wrist is 6 around and the bracelet is loose on me. The bracelet weighs 68.99 grams.
Brand new in perfect condition. Stamped sterling and has Andy Cadman's hallmark. Certificate of Authenticity included.
Andy Cadman is the older brother of well-known silversmith Darrel Cadman and a half-brother of renowned silversmiths Gary and Sunshine Reeves and he was taught to do silver work by them. Born in 1966 in Gallup, New Mexico, Andy started silverwork in 1989. The Cadman brothers and the Reeves brothers exhibit certain similarities in their work. They all work in the Navajo revival style .
