Three views of a bracelet by the late Phil Sekaquaptewa (1948-2003), Eagle Clan. It is also hallmarked for HopiCrafts (run by his father, Wayne, and his uncle, Emory) so we know it is an early work of his. 1 1/4 inches tapering down to 1 inch and made for a medium wrist. $1100. (TUCSON)

This cuff was made by 9 year old silversmith, Lance Aragon, Navajo. Beautiful repousse stamp work featuring Lance’s first name stamped along one side of the top of the cuff rather than on the inside of the bracelets. $300 each (SANTA FE)
