ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Navajo metalsmith Calvin Belin is a 52 year old man who has been making jewelry since he was 12 & like most Navajo children, they are raised in a household of other jeweler's, who are mainly their parents..He worked under his father who had the young Calvin,making bezels for his jewelry.. He lives in the heart of the Navajo Reservation in the town of Crownpoint,NM.
*****************************
THE CUFF:
Designed with a 'sampler' variety of chunky sized free form cuts of turquoise, where each one of these stones have their own fingerprint character & have an obvious quality that only natural/un-treated turquoise can offer..The center stone is from the Nevada Pilot Mountain Mine & the outer cuts are from the Kingman mine. The stones lay in a 'row' style & will cover the top of the wrist.The rocks are wire wrapped & has beaded accents that lay between each stone & sit atop of a heavy 12 gauge sterling sheet that has been lightly oxidized & left darker in the crevices of the stamping to give more accentuation to those areas.
****************************
WRIST SIZE:
Because of the 12 gauge sterling this is made with, this cannot be adjusted, so it's of extreme importance that you know your wrist size and what gap opening works best for it to comfortably fit over the arm. This is made for a large sized wrist that would be fit for one that has a 'fleshier" wrist . The 1-3/8" gap opening helps for a wrist that's larger boned where you need a little wider gap to fit over the arm. Cuffs fit different than any other type bracelet & it is important they fit right! If you are unsure of your wrist size,I suggest you click this link: "How To Fit A Cuff " and also I suggest you copy/paste the YouTube link I have there, that shows the right way, you should put a cuff on! If you are not sure of your size, please go over this before purchasing & or contact me.
