Description: In the world of Native jewelry Hopi silversmiths are not as prolific as other tribes, therefore, you just won't see as much of it for sale. The Hopi are known for their silver overlay work and this beautiful cuff bracelet is a nice example of that. Overlay is where the bottom sheet of silver is oxidized or blackened. The top sheet has patterns or designs cut out. The oxidized bottom makes the top layer of cut out silver stand out in a very nice way and gives the jewelry a more dimensional look. This cuff is approximately 1/2" wide and a size 6 5/8" including the 1" gap. It is not stamped sterling which is not unusual for vintage Native/Hopi jewelry. It is hallmarked with pictograms of Sunface representing Hopi Silver Craft Guild and a corn stalk. Condition: There is a very fine patina over much of the front of the cuff. Am unable to see any fine or deep scratches. The oxidation appears excellent. Overall, would say this vintage Hopi pendant appears to be in excellent condition, but as it is a vintage piece it is sold in "as is" condition. If you are not satisfied with your purchase please contact me and allow me the opportunity to attempt to remedy the situation. Thank you for your interest.
