To make sandcast jewelry, there are numerous steps. First, a design is carved into a mold. Then the artist pours molten silver into the mold. It is then taken out and finished by hand. The mold is only good for a single object, so each is one of a kind.
This sandcast bracelet is an excellent example of traditional Navajo sandcast work. It is perfectly symmetrical and has a great patina.
Condition: original condition
Provenance: from the collection of a gentleman from Colorado
