One thing that can't be denied is the caliber of jewelry made by numerous award winner Tommy Jackson! His jewelry has that 'over the top' quality where he builds each piece from scratch, where his workmanship is clean & precisely made. "Sloppy & Hurried" is never a word one would use when they speak of this man's jewelry. He's the epitome of a true artist who knows the "why's",the "what's" & the "how's" of what he's doing & never do you have to question how long he's has been at it,because you'll see it in his work..Coming from an era where using only the highest grade stones is equally as important, this is another thing you'll get with Tommy's jewelry. He'll always keep it traditional, while having a contemporary modern edginess!

THE BRACELET:
Impressively made in a "Wave" design that is made up of 5 hinged panels that takes a mathematical-analytical mind to make! Each of these panels are made in a 'shadowbox' setting for the cobble mosaic inlay to sit in.Cutting different shaped cuts of Lapis & accents of turquoise,he then lays them one by one so they sit precisely side by side.

This is made with lots of sterling,so it has some good weight to it! He also went as far as to make a phenomenal boxed clasp that has a long tongue & slides deep in it's housing. It comes with a 2.50" safety security chain that can easily be detached since it has a small lobster clasp.Even though this has just over a 7" length, this type of bracelet is best worn where it doesn't fit snug, but rather letting it fall a little from the wrist.I have a baby 4-3/4" wrist & it falls to the top of my hand & cannot slide off. So this will fit an XS wrist to up to a 6-1/2" wrist comfortably. If you have a link/panel bracelet on hand that fits you good, you can compare it to my measurements.

Even though this is Navajo made,it's contemporary aesthetic will allow this to work in OR out of the SW! Wear with a Native or Non Native collection! Perfect for gift giving!!

This is pre-owned & came from a Santa Fe collector who was down sizing. It came to me polished,which is actually how the metal is suppose to look. I have posted other pieces I purchased from this person that can be found in my listings..(All Native American bracelets)
