We were told the artist of this Lapis bracelet was Jereme Delgarito, who is the brother of Jeremy and Lawrence Delgarito and Verdy Jake, also the father of Brandon Delgarito, all noted silversmiths. Jereme Delgarito's work is represented in several galleries in Santa Fe and Gallup. He is published in Schaaf's American Indian Jewelry I, pg. 134. |
The
silver is a foliar floral combination
of flowers, leaves, tendrils,
fronds, stems,
spirals and raindrops wonderfully
composed and meticulously
put in place.

How to Choose and Fit a Cuff Bracelet
What is a Cabochon?A cabochon (also spelled cabachon) is a gemstone that has been shaped and polished to form a convex (domed) top and a flat bottom. This makes an ideal stone to set in a bracelet or pendant as the flat bottom sits securely in the setting and the domed surface is lovely and catches the light. |
