Manuel Weahkee Bracelet of Sterling Silver and Jade

About the Piece: Manuel Weahkee Bracelet of Sterling Silver and Deep Green Jade

This is such a fantastic contemporary Zuni inlay bracelet for its unique deep green color of jade inlay. Sure you can have a turquoise inlay bracelet, but this one turns heads for its unexpected shade.  

Handmade by Manuel Weahkee, the bracelet is simple in design with slightly different sizes of square and rectangular stone inlaid in silver. It's easy-to-wear with just about anything. 

For a person with a larger wrist, the bracelet measures 6" inside plus 1 1/4" opening. The width is 5/8" and there's about 1/4" of height due to the chunkier inlay. 

The bracelet was purchased at 2019 Indian Market, and it comes from a long-time Native American jewelry collector. Signed on the inside.
