Harry Begay Ingot silver bracelet

This Ingot sterling silver bracelet.The artist is known for his unique designs in heavy silver and this one is a great example. The deep stamping and use of stamped silver design elements give this piece a 3-dimensional look. In addition to this the arist also curves the inside of the bracelet which allows it to feel much light and smaller than it really is. Probably one of the most comfortable bracelets we offer. 

Artist:  HARRY BEGAY: He began his jewelry making career in the early 1970s. He is widely recognized as reviving traditional Native American silver smithing by building a piece of jewelry out of ingot sterling silver. He heats the ingot and anneals it prior to hammering out the desired shape. He then pulls the wire to be used in the piece through an iron block with different sized holes to create different gauges. Harry’s work is significant in that the resulting piece is so thick and heavy that it could not have been purchased from sheet and wire at a commercial supply store. This process is so labor intensive that it takes many times longer to create a piece. It is for this reason that he only uses the finest turquoise on the market Harry’s contribution is so significant that he ranks as one of the most collectible Navajo silversmiths of the twentieth century.
