OK, to join my fellow Wonder Women: My power cuff, by master Navajo silversmith Jennifer Curtis, daughter of another famous master, Thomas Curtis. Very strong repousse. Jennifer makes her own stamps from scratch, as opposed to buying those tools, as her father also did.
When I need to feel the most powerful, I add my Cody Sanderson (Navajo) silver double star ring. Together, they make me nearly invincible.
Both the cuff and the ring are 2 1/8" height.
These are really stunning!
Thanks. This sort of silverwork by Native artists really crosses genres, partly because artists are familiar with mainstream art and design. The cuff is a traditional Navajo blanket design, but the abstraction doesn't read only as Native these days.

I actually don't wear Silver (except some plain stud earrings) but I just ordered a pair of custom made bangles in Silver to switch things up bc all I wear is Gold. I hope I don't regret my decision lol...but I think of silver as a white t-shirt; its a base and you build on top of it ie other bracelets with a bit more color or even gold. Does anyone have silver bangles? How do you wear them?
I have some ippolita silver bangles with stones that I mix and match. I have plain silver hammered bangles to use as fillers.
I know this is a very old thread mistikat, sorry about that but I'm thinking about buying the exact same combo for myself (rock crystal). I just find the Dew Drop so iconic. I hope you don't mind me asking a couple of questions.
The pendent seems to just hook on to the torque. Ever worry about losing it, does that restrict your movements and make you self conscious - in other words can I go dancing with it on and not worry? (This is the woman who lost 18K blk/wht diamond earrings at her cousin's wedding
obviously it was someone else's lucky day) Are you getting lots of wear from it and enjoying it as much as when you first bought it and what neckline looks best with the torque?
I have few sterling silver but the one I usually wear is my pandora bracelet. I love how sturdy it looks. My friends from work loves sterling silver like necklace and earrings. Silver on my neck and fingers tarnishes a lot so I seldom use sterling as necklace and ring. Just as bracelet and earrings when I feel like it. i have a male silver figaro bracelet I used as an anklet. My husband placed it there when we were just starting as a couple and I only took it off like 3 times to clean for the past 8 years. The first one is when my brother requested to clean it for me when he said it looks tarnished.he practically begged to have it cleaned lol. My husband bought it for himself but I know he is not a jewelry wearer so I was joking that maybe he has another girl so he gave it to me instead. Haha
cdtracing, you'd suggested I post some pics so here's one of my fave Navajo silver bracelets
Beautiful bracelet, sdkitty!! Love the detail work. Is your's stamped with the name or mark of the Artist? Some are marked but so many of the really old pieces are not.
