Description

Jonathan Nez Navajo Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet

This Jonathan Nez sterling silver cuff bracelet exemplifies his masterful use of traditional Navajo design elements in a contemporary style. Known for combining heavy-gauge sterling silver with bold bead-ball patterns and deep-set stamp work, Nez’s pieces stand out for their craftsmanship and symmetry. This cuff is an ideal representation of his signature aesthetic, featuring layered silver spheres along an oxidized background that enhances the bracelet’s high-contrast look.

Jonathan Nez, originally from Teesto, Arizona, trained under esteemed Navajo silversmiths, including Paul Platero and Thomas Guerro, and was deeply influenced by his grandfather, Thomas Singer. Since beginning his career in 1989, Nez has shown his work at prestigious venues, including the Santa Fe Indian Market and the Heard Museum, where his pieces are celebrated for their quality and attention to detail.
