In 1961, the brothers Wayne and Emory founded “Hopi Crafts” in Kykotsmovi village on the Hopi reservation and began making and selling Hopi jewelry that emphasized better design and technique, working to raise the standing of Hopi jewelry as a whole from personal adornment to fine craft. This bracelet is thought to be by either Emory or Wayne, but it is difficult to identify which. A bracelet in the old Hopi style, with a large maze design and plenty of free space. After Wayne died in 1979, Hopi Crafts closed in 1983. Material: Sterling silver Stone: Lone Mountain turquoise Dimensions: Inside circumference 12.3 cm; maximum width 5.2 cm; opening 2.6 cm; thickness 0.3 cm Artists: Wayne and Emory Sekaquaptewa (Hopi)
