ABOUT ANTHONY:
Anthony resides in Gallup,NM & is known for not only his traditional Navajo work,but his one time use Tufa cast jewelry. For those who aren’t familiar with tufa casting,it’s a technique where the artist draws their art into the tufa & then pours the hot molten silver into the tufa stone,thus creating the piece that is to be worn.Anthony’s tufa is used one time only,which makes his jewelry truly one of a kind,since the tufa is no longer used & the design cannot be duplicated the same way twice.

He is also known for using various textures,polishes,geometric shapes & free hand designs,which you will witness in this beautifully designed cuff.Anthony is the father of Sandra Zambrano who is another artist I carry, that makes Hand Made Navajo Pearl bench bead necklaces for me.(See listings)
*******************************
Having a contemporary aesthetic,Anthony shows his artistic drawing skills throughout this beauty!Designed with flourished swirly lines that work their way around the Dragonflies..From the center & on one side of the cuff are 3 dragonflies that graduate in size( see photos) On the other side,there is what looks to be a partial image of a huge flower(see photo 7)'

It is made with a dual texture of oxidized sterling & bar of sterling that has a high polished finish that separates the design.The texture is grainy due to the tufa stone.The weight is nice & comfortable & will show nicely on the wrist,like all of Anthony's cuff do!
