TRIBE: Navajo ITEM: Wes Craig Native American Bracelet DETAILS:● This Vintage Native American KOKOPELLI Cuff Bracelet is handmade, it is truly STUNNING in person - GREAT energy! A work of art, made by Navajo silver artist Wes Craig, this bracelet features superb design elements and the finest materials.🔸 The Bracelet features two raised carved KOKOPELLI figures, one on each side of the large, beautifully set Amethyst gemstone🔸 TheSilver Workincludes cuts that catch the light (I believe they are called \"diamond cuts\") - gives a very nice shine / glitz to it. Wonderful texture & layers. Looks even better in person, the photos do not accurately catch the beauty of this piece and the way the natural light catches the light / makes it shine!🔸 All of the wonderful details elevates this Bracelet from \"ordinary\" to \"extraordinary\"● SIGNED: Signed / Stamped on the inside of the band with \"Wes Craig\" inside a feather, a very unique hallmark!● GEMSTONE: Genuine Amethyst. At the request of a potential buyer, I took this bracelet to get the quality of the amethyst confirmed by a professional - two (2) different gemologists confirmed that the amethyst stone is indeed GENUINE (i.e., NOT lab created). One gemologist is from Robbins Brothers in Woodland Hills, CA, and the other is a specialist in Native American jewelry in Santa Monica, CA [Todd Swift of Taos Indian Trading Co., established in 1987 and located in the heart of downtown Santa Monica for over 28 years (they have an amazing selection if you are ever in the area)]. I do not have their opinions in writing due to the excessive cost; however, I took care and time in selecting the gemologists and am confident in their findings. ● STERLING SILVER: Stamped/ Marked as genuine \"Sterling\" Silver on the back - see close-up photo. It is not marked \"925\", but I believe it to be so as was the custom for these types of pieces. It is possible that the Kokopellis have a gold filled overlay, although there is no purity stamp.● The sides are engraved with the figure of Kokopelli, who according to Navajo legend, is a God of harvest and plenty. It is thought that his sack was made of clouds full of rainbows or seeds. He plays a flute (included in the engraving) and was the predominant figure in the landscape of the Southwest. He\'s still a fertility deity to many Native American tribes and is instantly recognized by his silhouette.● HANDCRAFTED and UNIQUE Design! Silver bracelets are hugely popular right now, especially with the popularity of Southwestern / Native American jewelry and Bohemian style clothing and jewelry● Intricate Metal Work - especially in the Kokopelli designs. There is beautiful detailing in the setting for the Amethyst.● $450 Original Price (as stamped on the back, see photo) - VINTAGE!
