Navajo Artisan-"Rick Werito"-FIRE AGATE-Heavily Oxidized - Ornate Embellished Traditional Navajo Sterling Cuff-For 6-7/8" Wrist-WOW FACTOR!
This extremely appealing cuff is made by Rick Werito, who is a highly skilled Navajo artist who does nothing but these undeniable-seriously traditional Navajo pieces. Rick 1st picks his stone & then lets the stone dictate the design. He literally makes each piece a "work of art", by not only creating his own applique embellishments that surround the stone, but furthers the design by stamping designs into his heavy gauge shanks!
Taking center stage is a fabulous looking cut of "FIRE AGATE" that shows it's signature characteristics & gives this chunky cut it's identity. What I'm in awh about, is how he brought the sterling to it's maximum level of beauty from leaving the heavy darkened oxidation in the crevice's of his stamp work & in every line that is seen in his applique design. It is BEYOND Gorgeous!!! The sterling gleams with this one!
SIZING:
Sized for a man OR woman & is made for a larger-wide size wrist, but one that isn't "fleshy" since the gap has a 1" opening, If you know how to adjust a cuff & feel confident enough to open the gap up a bit more,this can be done with this one. If you don't know how to do this, then I would take it to a reputable jeweler.
Please know your wrist size before purchasing since cuffs fit different than any other type bracelet, it is important they fit right!
If you're not sure or have never measured yourself, please click on this link: How To Fit A Cuff ** to know whether this will fit..Also, copy/pasting the "You Tube" link at the top portion since they too give valuable info on the subject..If you need help, please don't hesitate to contact me!
