Description

Hopi Sterling Silver Overlay Cuff Bracelet

This sterling silver cuff bracelet, attributed to a Hopi artist with the initials "TC," exemplifies the classic Hopi overlay technique. Known for its distinctive depth and contrast, the overlay method features a cut-out silver top layer soldered onto a darkened, oxidized base. This traditional Hopi style highlights the intricate geometric motifs, creating a high-contrast design that captures the essence of Hopi artistry.

Specifications:

  • Material: Sterling Silver
  • Technique: Sterling Silver Overlay, a hallmark of Hopi craftsmanship
  • Markings: Signed "TC" and marked "Sterling"

Condition:
Good, with a natural patina. There is a minor ding in the bezel surrounding the stone, which does not detract from the piece’s overall appeal. Polishing is left to the buyer’s discretion to preserve its natural finish.

  • Overall Size: 2" x 2.75" x 0.5"
  • Opening: 1.15" (Adjustable)
  • Weight: 25.4 grams
