Vintage Dragonfly Silver Navajo Cuff
This Vintage Dragonfly Silver Navajo Cuff captures the beauty of Navajo artistry by Wilson and Carolyn Begay. A pleasing combination of style and substance, it features a heavily textured background with graceful water lines and drops, overlaid with the tribal symbol of transformation and good luck. A dark blue Lapis gemstone dresses the body. It's about 1-1/2" wide and will best fit a 6-1/2" to 7" wrist. Hallmarked, circa 1980's. Both rugged and delicate, this tufa cast, Vintage Dragonfly Silver Navajo Cuff is a really nice piece of jewelry and it's one of a kind!
Your correct wrist 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.
Wilson and Carolyn have been making jewelry since the late 1960's. He works the Silver and she is a lapidarist. They both worked for Tobe Turpin and for many years with Mike and Dean Kirk, at the famous Kirk Brothers Trading Company in Gallup. Wilson’s father, Luke, taught John Adair, author of “Navajo and Pueblo Silversmiths” how to make sand cast jewelry. They are referenced in Hougart's "Native American and Southwestern Silver Hallmarks", Wright's "Hallmarks of the Southwest", Schaaf's "American Indian Jewelry I" and many more.
