Richard Begay Incised Sterling Silver Inlaid Turquoise/Red Coral Cuff Bracelet

Description: For your consideration I am offering for sale this dainty and beautiful one of a kind Navajo Richard Begay (RB) Incised Sun, Flower Sterling Silver Inlaid Turquoise/Coral Cuff Bracelet. This is a delicately incised bracelet with five different designs on the outer edges leading to the back of the bracelet. At the very edge and going inward, there are 14 curved lines on one side and 13 on the other. Then there are stars stamped on both sides, dashes both long and short, connected diamond shapes & finally a design akin to flower petals. In the front there are four ovals with inlaid turquoise chips, and three diamond shapes with inlaid red coral chips (please view photos). As stated previously, the bracelet is dainty, but in no way does that detract from the magnificent workmanship put into the piece. I would think that it would probably more difficult to do intricate work on smaller items than larger. The opening is approximately 1". The inside opening is approximately 2 1/8". It sits at approximately 5/16" high. I was able to put it around my wrist which is around 6 1/2" to 6 3/4", but it does sit somewhat snug at the wrist. It's a little pliable, but I, personally, wouldn't widen it too much. I have left the patina intact. Please be advised that I do not accept returns. Richard Begay was a Navajo Silversmith from Pinon Arizona. Richard passed away June 1, 2013. His work is displayed at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC and the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Az. Thank you for viewing this item and please check out my other listings.
