Hopi Silver Bear Big Boy Watch Cuff by Michael Sockyma 0350

Hopi Silver Bear Big Boy Watch Cuff

This Hopi Silver Bear Big Boy Watch Cuff is ideal if you love pueblo jewelry that serves a purpose! Handmade by Michael Sockyma Sr, it's really nice with lots of traditional inspiration! Crafted from two layers of Sterling, the top was hand sawed to create the walking bear image with moisture patterns to accent. Soldered to an etched and oxidized base, this creates the contrast that brings this healing and powerful totem to life. Handcrafted from heavy gauge Sterling, it's 1-3/4" at the widest with a slight taper to the back. This will best fit a 7" to 8-1/2" wrist. It is pictograph hallmarked with a corn plant and stamped Sterling. This was refurbished in our shop. This Hopi Silver Bear Big Boy Watch Cuff is impressive jewelry that won't go unnoticed!

Michael (1942- ) is a Third Mesa artist of the Corn Clan, and is an award winning smith, who became active in the mid 1960's. He learned at Hopicrafts (Hopi Enterprises) and worked there for a time. He is referenced in Hougart's "Native American and Southwestern Silver Hallmarks", Wright's "Hallmarks of the Southwest" and "Hopi Silver" and Schaaf's "American Indian Jewelry I and III".

Your correct size: you must measure the circumference of your wrist. You can use a cloth tape measure, a ¼” strip of paper or a cord to wrap around your wrist and mark it. Lay it out flat and measure the length against a ruler, that’s your exact circumference and the size you wear.
