ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Raised in the Gallup,NM area,Navajo AARON TOADLENA is an artist that does not take his art for granted & believes it is a blessing" since he has been able to support his whole family from making finer Navajo jewelry for many years now..

Aaron does not begin to make a piece until his mind,eyes,heart & hands are all uninterrupted & in sync with one another.Striving to be the best he can be & doing the best he can do,it is always obvious & comes through in his jewelry.Aaron keeps his jewelry in a traditional, Navajo “old school' style,by still doing it all by hand & this is one reason why you won’t see cast pieces with him,since he would rather pound the sterling with a hammer & whatever else it takes,just like his ancestors did. He has been featured in the highly read "Cowboys & Indians" magazine,as well as having been in the Oprah Magazine!He worked at one time with the famed"Ray Tracey" & also has done shows in Boston & the St Louis Art Museum..His jewelry is undeniably Navajo & is highly collectible.

DESCRIPTION:

This is one of those cuffs that just lays right,fits right,made right & looks right!

It has an incredible appearance inside & out where Aaron chose 55 of the best matched round onyx cabochons that lay atop of a domed top of heavy gauge sterling.The stones literally cover the curvature along the top of the wrist.Sterling beads sit outside each & every one.

The shank is accurately & beautifully stamped & has a marquise shape repousse accent & goes from a wide center & then narrows at the terminals.Be sure to check out the photos of the interior,where he stamped the whole center area! WOW!!

This will go with literally anything & everything & might just be your best ‘go-to’ cuff! There is nothing more attractive than a sterling & black combo & will compliment a sexy black dress to faded denim! Definitely a Must- Have!

This is made for a somewhat larger average 6.50” wrist, but a wrist that’s less ‘fleshy’, since it only has a small 7/8” gap opening. Please know your wrist size before purchasing.
