Description
6.5" Vintage Jack Woolsey Versions Modernist sterling fossil cuff bracelet. Tested and guaranteed solid sterling silver with weight and measurements in pictures. Circa last quarter of the 20th century with some expected age appropriate wear.
If no maker is mentioned or mark shown in the pictures please assume this piece is unmarked which is to be expected with older Native American silver jewelry. If it‘s hallmarked and I‘m not familiar with the artist most of the time I will just mention the hallmark with no research/attribution as time is everything in our business. Thank you for looking.
Bracelets are shown in the photos with a tape measure inside the bracelet, other photos will typically show the gap size. The size at the beginning of the title includes the gap. Almost all bracelets that don‘t have inlay work should be adjustable by at least .25", please refer to pictures for the gap size to see if it would work if slightly adjusted as the gap would change.
Artist and jeweler Jack Woolsey was born in 1940 in Colorado Springs, CO. He learned his jewelry making techniques from the Navajo silversmiths around Taos, NM, and is renowned for his modernist inlay cuff bracelets, belt buckles, and earrings. Some of his materials were obtained in trade with Eskimos living in the Alaskan tundra. He also created distinctive wrap inlay designs using turquoise, red jasper, black onyx, and other semiprecious stones. Jack Woolsey passed away in 2005, at the age of 64.
