Description
Artie Yellowhorse Navajo 14k/Sterling bracelet/earrings set. No issues, weight and measurements in pics.
Artie Yellowhorse is known for her contemporary designs that incorporate high-quality stones and materials with an exceptional quality of silverwork. The influences of her Navajo heritage are apparent in the beautiful wearable art, which evolved out of generations of artistic talent.
Raised in Arizona, Yellowhorse is a third generation Navajo jewelry artist from the Towering House Clan. Her grandfather and father were both silversmiths and the women in her family were skilled weavers. Yellowhorse has carried on the jewelry making tradition and passed it on to her daughters Desiree and LeiLani. Dominic and James, Arties grandsons, are now taking an active role in the business as well. Undeniably, Artie Yellowhorse jewelry is a family affair.
"We take great pride in continuing a family legacy and bringing beauty and joy to people helping in understanding the Navajo concept of ‘Walk with Beauty.‘"

All precious metals are tested and guaranteed. A Native American jewelry piece referred to as "silver" or "ingot" is guaranteed to be at least 90% silver. I rarely use the word "sterling" when referring to older Native American silver or really any older silver jewelry as silver contents vary and "sterling" is 92.5% silver. No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn‘t an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I‘ve seen thousands of pieces xrf‘d to prove this. Bracelets are photographed on a 6" women‘s wrist.
