Eddie Scott Kohtalawva has captivated us with his work for more than 20 years, since LONGBRANCH was founded in 1997, and he still creates jewelry energetically even though he is now over 70. His clan is the Badger Clan, the same as Charles Loloma, a master of Indian jewelry. Eddie inherited the inlay work that Loloma, though Hopi, innovatively pursued in his lifetime and that was not seen in Hopi jewelry of the time, and he continues to create work with his own designs combining overlay work and inlay work. He is an artist with rare talent in today's Hopi jewelry world. The multi-stone inlay bracelet introduced here is a very rare piece made at LONGBRANCH's special request, with sugilite (a purple mineral) as the main stone in multi-stone inlay work. Material: Sterling silver Stones: Kingman turquoise, coral, lapis lazuli, sugilite, opal and onyx Dimensions: Inside circumference 14.8 cm; maximum width 1 cm; opening 2.8 cm; thickness 0.7 cm Artist: Eddie Scott Kohtalawva (Hopi)
