DESCRIPTION:
There is nothing at all average about this beautiful bracelet! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Mike Smith, hand strung out of genuine sterling silver. The bracelet is made up of 5-mm silver round beads, while twisted silver surronds the entire cuff for an incredible look. The bracelet is completed with a silver bar on each end.
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.
