This bracelet is hand-crafted by me, from molten silver. I use a traditional Diné (Navajo) technique called Tufa Casting that dates back to the 1800's; over 200 years ago. The design is hand carved into Tuff, a compressed volcanic ash commonly called Tufa Rock, to create a mold. I heat the mold and pour molten sterling silver into it to form each piece. The tufa mold leaves a unique and perfect texture on the surface of the silver. After casting the shape the silver is hand cut, filed, annealed, formed and sized to fit. These are solid silver, and are 1” wide. Simple understated elegance.
