Navajo Artisan-TSOSIE WHITE-Circa 2000's- Simple/Understated - Triple Italian Coral - Sterling Row Cuff-For 6-3/8" Wrist
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
When Navajo Tsosie(Orville) White stepped out to go to work over 30 some years ago,it wasn't to make jewelry, but rather as a carpenter & a mechanic.. But thanks to Tsosie’s wife, since it was actually she, who influenced the younger Tsosie and was the contributing factor that turned him around to where & who he is today..He has done nothing but make a reputable name for himself in the industry and no matter what he makes, Tsosie's work will always have that traditional Navajo charm, with impeccable workmanship that validate all those years he has now put in.
His eye for form & balance between stone & metal is precise and will show all the time AND love he pours into each & every piece he makes, no matter how small or how big!!
SIZING:
Made to fit a 6-3/8" wrist , this is made for a smaller size wrist that’s on the ‘smaller side of medium”. (between a 6-1/4” to a 6-1/2” wrist). If the gap doesn’t quite measure to be the perfect size to fit your wrist, you can either adjust the gap opening yourself or I would recommend taking it to a reputable jeweler who knows how to adjust cuffs to either open the gap up more or close it down some. . Just remember that the only thing that can be changed when adjusting is the gap and does not change the “Interior” 5-3/8” measurement. It's of extreme importance that you know your wrist size and what gap opening works best for it to comfortably fit over the arm before purchasing.
Cuff's are one of the only bracelets that HAVE to fit properly, so If you're unsure, click on this link: How To Fit A Cuff. And while there, be sure to copy/paste the You Tube link, which shows you the “Proper” way to put a cuff on! I am an email away, so don't hesitate in getting in touch with me if you need!.

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
*****I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try my best to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color.. So please go through all photos to see ANY variation. Remember, each monitor displays the color differently from one to the next, so this too, has to be taken into consideration.
In order to show all the fine detail, close up photos tend to make the item look gigantic & everything also is much more magnified .So to get an accurate idea of how big this is, please view photo of it on the arm or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements in the "Info".
