NAVAJO SKY BLUE TURQUOISE SIGNED CUFF, 82 gr TOM BEGAY Sterling Silver
NATIVE AMERICAN CUFF BRACELET. This bracelet is DIVINE.. The turquoise has the grace. It is a sky blue big turquoise, like before! It is one of TOM BEGAY’s turquoise… The man has an endless collection of stones. They come for a whole life of collecting. And his life has to be close to a century! Once in a while he chooses a stone from one of his buckets. And with his trembling hands, he can still carve, buff, polish and make a wonder happen.. The NAVAJO artist TOM BEGAY has been making jewelry all his life. All this time he stayed fidel to the traditional original NAVAJO style. He is an old fashioned artist. With the wise wrinkles engraved on his face and his few words of English, he keeps the old tradition alive.. He made a simple traditional cuff… The turquoise is a real marvel. It is what was called a blue sky turquoise. The New Mexico sky in the morning. It is a warm tone, not the intense darker blue of the harsh freezing winter sky. It is a soothing tone. The matrix is a soft touch of golden veins which seem to evaporate with the day. A blessed moment captured for this bracelet. And when I asked Tom Begay where did the turquoise come from, he had to repeat like each and every time, with a twinkle in his dark eyes, Kingman, Kingman… I will never know if he is joking, making fun of me… Or simply does not understand my eternal question! So, yes, it could be a Kingman with a blue close to the typical Sleeping Beauty… No matter what, it is marvelous! The style of the bracelet with a carving reminding of an arrow head gives some strength and character to the whole piece. Tom Begay did a perfect setting for the exquisite stone. A minimal traditional setting. A thick twisted chain rope goes all around the stone, then a half round. And the turquoise is radiant. The face of the bracelet is 3″ x 2.5″. The inside of the cuff is 5″ + 1″ gap – It can be adjusted carefully. It weighs 82 grams. STAMPED and SIGNED by the artist TOM BEGAY with his PICTOGHRAPH HALLMARK, THE ARROW FACING NORTH.
