Cast Silver Bracelet with Raised Horses [SOLD]

Exquisite craftsmanship is apparent in this sterling silver cuff with three galloping overlay horses. St.Croix Ojibway artist Terry Emery and his wife Dorothy created a striking wearable piece of art. The bracelet consists of three horses set against a textured background. The middle horse has inlaid sections of turquoise and coral. The other two horses are silver with design elements. Abstract cloud elements are set above and below the horses. Measuring at just six inches around, the bracelet is perfect for a small wrist.

Terrance and Dorothy Emery signed their creations with their initials and last name as D/T Emery. The bracelet is signed with this hallmark.

Terrance Emery was born and raised on the St. Croix Ojibway Reservation in Northern Wisconsin. He is from the Marten Clan known as the ‘skilled craftsman and soldier of the tribe.' He was taught traditional arts used in ceremonies and dances by his relatives.

Dorothy is a member of Jemez Pueblo. She collaborates with her husband in the creation of high-quality jewelry. They have been working together since the early 1990s.

In a recent conversation with Terrance's son, Terrance Jr. shared that his father moved to Albuquerque from Wisconsin in 1970 to attend Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute. He made jewelry for more than thirty years, attending native art shows and pow-wows across the US. He taught his son the art of jewelry making.
