LONGBRANCH has admired Eddy Scott Cooyaouva's work for more than 20 years, since the shop was founded in 1997. At the time of the original description, he continued to create energetically beyond the age of 70.
A member of the Badger Clan, like the renowned Charles Loloma, Eddy carries forward Loloma's innovative use of inlay, which was unusual in Hopi jewelry at the time.
His distinctive combination of overlay and inlay makes him a singular presence in contemporary Hopi jewelry.
This band ring was commissioned using turquoise supplied by LONGBRANCH.
Deep overlay work depicts an eagle, a bear paw and water waves, while coral and onyx are inlaid at the eagle's neck.
