6 3/8" Wayne Muskett Navajo Sterling and spiny oyster inlay bracelet
WAYNE MUSKETT was born in Gallup, NM, a Navajo Reservation border town of trading posts and tourists--a mosaic of different peoples and cultures. Wayne's
jewelry echoes his colorful hometown. He creates inlay bracelets set with the
bright stones of earth: green malachite, blood-red coral, deep blue lapis and
the dusty blue of denim lapis, and, of course, high grade turquoise.
Wayne doesn't restrict his work to only sterling silver. He also creates
stunning gold jewelry with the same expert eye to color. "I really enjoy working
with gold. There's a different vibrancy in the colors."
Wayne comes from a family of craftsmen. His father creates more traditional
pieces, while his brother also makes inlay jewelry. His father's influence is
apparent in Wayne's pendants--bear pendants, their rounded backs like the sacred
es honoring the most powerful and wise creature. Wayne sometimes inlays these
pendants on both sides, a pleasant surprise to the unsuspecting.
Wayne's pieces promise to continue delivering unexpected delight to those who
appreciate quality craftsmanship.
All precious metals are tested and guaranteed, any Native American jewelry
referred to as Silver or Sterling is guaranteed to be a minimum of 90% (coin)

it's marked, most bracelets are photographed on a 6" wrist (non hairy), rings
photographed on the appropriate sized finger when possible. With bracelets if
the measurement is not given in the description then inside circumference is
shown where the metal meets the number on the the cloth tape measure.
