ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Gallup New Mexico based, traditional Navajo artisan "Andy Cadman" was born in 1966 is a 'modern-day' artist that stays true to his Navajo roots, while moving us into our present years. Andy is a highly sought after artist who has close similarities to other traditional-present day artists, such as the Reeves, Albert Jake, Guy Hoskie, Aaron Toadlena or even Tsosie White, where they use nothing but the highest grade turquoise & generally work in heavy gauge sterling.

**************************

THE CUFF:

Sharing the spotlight with a fabulous looking, webby cut of high grade Kingman turquoise, are hand cut Thunderbirds which are accented on the sides of the cut. This signature bird of the southwest, gives the cuff a very undeniable southwestern look!

The cut & the thunderbirds lay atop of a well executed shank, where right below the cut & the birds it has a scalloped perimeter, while at the terminals is left with a straight perimeter & corrugated lines. Oozing a old school feel, Andy left the darkened oxidation in all the crevices, so that when he polished the shank, they are then accentuated.

*************************

WRIST SIZE:

This is made for a large sized wrist that would be fit for one who not only has a wide left to right wrist size, but also who has a little 'fleshier"wrist . The 1-1/4" gap opening helps when 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 on: "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.

Artist, sterling cost, the artist’s time, turquoise quality, the cost per carat for natural turquoise (As opposed to treated), the amount of carats, are all reflected in price
