We initially made contact with Navajo silversmith Guy Hoskie in December 2005 when we bought some magnificent cluster pendants from him. We have continued to accumulate his work which is always made with fine natural turquoise stones. This scalloped-edge row bracelet is set with ovals and triangles of rich red-orange spiny oyster. Rounds of Mediterranean red coral mark the intermediate directions around the center oval and lend depth to the shade of the spiny oyster shell. Raindrops are interspersed among the settings to add sparkle to the design. The stampwork on the cuff is deep and precise and nicely highlights the scalloped edges of the cuff. Simply superb for color! Guy's hallmark consists of his initials "G" and "H" with the word "Sterling" stamped between the letters of his initials. Spiny oyster ovals: center 1 1/8" x 11/16"; (2) 11/16" x 1/2" Spiny oyster triangles: 3/4" x 3/8" Red coral rounds: (4) 1/4" diameter Width of cuff: 1 5/16" Terminal to terminal: 5 3/8" Gap: 1" Total inside circumference (including gap): 6 3/8"
