A WORD ABOUT THE ARTIST:
There's a certain look that is found with the jewelry that comes out of the Gallup area & you can definitely see this geographical' s influence in Tyler's work. Now 32 years old & producing some of the hottest looking Navajo jewelry in today's market where he's built a name for himself that is now in high demand, Tyler could not escape the art of jewelry making since he happens to be the son of the late Navajo artist, "DEAN BROWN".. Dean taught the young Tyler the art of making traditional Navajo jewelry where he taught him 1st with earrings where he had him working with super light gauge 32 gauge sterling, so if there were many mistakes(Which there were!) it wouldn't be too, too costly.
Tyler comes from a long list of well known Navajo artists with just a few of his uncles being Hemerson Brown, Anthony Skeets & Lee Charley. His cousin is Mathew Charley & the late KIRK SMITH was a 2nd uncle.. He LOVES working with vivid colored materials & is always working on trying to come up with new ways to create different style cluster pieces, which are another favorite style that he loves making!
***************************
THE CUFF:
Impeccably made with precisely matched color Lapis,this is a cuff that literally ooozes quality & has a mouthwatering look to match!!
The cuff is broken up into 3 sections that sit atop of a 5 spread shank that's made of triangular wire.. The center panel's square shape was dictated by the square cut of Lapis, which then is framed by numerous pear cuts that act as the cluster halo.The "U" shaped sides are made with smaller square cuts & are surrounded by little 5 mm round cabs of Lapis.
The sterling is left with a matte/lightly oxidized finishing & is the perfect call to pair with other Native made pieces with the same finishing!
************************
WRIST SIZE:
This is made for a medium sized wrist but for one that doesn't need a large gap opening & is not so "fleshy" since it has only a 1" gap opening.. This is NOT adjustable. Please know your wrist size before purchasing since cuffs fit different than any other type bracelet, it is important they fit right! If you need help, please don't hesitate to contact me!!
