A coin silver bracelet by Perry Shorty, who makes Navajo jewelry devoted to classic designs from before the 1940s. American silver coins from the 1910s and 1920s are melted and tufa-cast into silver ingots, which are hammered into a flat sheet and then worked from the back to raise the front in “repoussé work.” This bracelet makes extensive use of that technique and is rare even among Perry's work. Material: Coin silver Dimensions: Inside circumference 15 cm; maximum width 5.7 cm; opening 3.1 cm; thickness 0.2 cm Artist: Perry Shorty (Navajo)
