Glenda Loretto Tufa Cast Silver and Turquoise Bracelet

Glenda Loretto from the Jemez Pueblo in Northern New Mexico made this pretty bracelet entirely by hand. The tufa cast silver band is offset with a single natural turquoise stone for such a chic design that you can wear with anything. 

Signed, the inside of the bracelet measures 5 3/8" with 15/16" opening, so it's a great fit for smaller wrists. Width is 1 1/8" at widest.

Besides the great design, it's a cool piece because there aren't a lot of jewelers at Jemez Pueblo.

Glenda K. Loretto's work is featured in the book "Masters of Contemporary Indian Jewelry" by Nancy N. Schiffer. Interestingly, Glenda Loretto's earlier work was in pottery-making.
