DESCRIPTION:
This is a wonderful piece of Navajo artistry! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Ben Begay, created with genuine sterling silver. A beautiful feather design makes up the entire cuff, with beautiful imprinted silver beads and twisted silver accents at the base. Feathers are symbols of prayers, marks of honor, or sources of ideas. They represent the Creative Force. The bracelet is stamped sterling and hallmarked by the artist.
Sterling Silver is a metal, which consists of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper. Although any metal can make up the 7.5% of non-silver component, years of study have shown that copper is most compatible, while aiding the solidity and durability of the metal without harming its beautiful color. The small amount of 7.5% copper added to all silver has almost no effect on the metals overall value. Due to the durability of sterling silver it is not only used for jewelry, but household accessories as well. Silver is known to last a lifetime with the proper care.
