David Tune Bracelet

This wonderful Cuff Bracelet was made by the famous and talented artist David Tune(b. 7/21/55). He started producing jewelry in 1976. David is Hopi, Creek, and Navajo. He has an interesting heritage and leads an exciting life too. He is a skydiver and balloonist, among other things. As a noted Native artist, his work is featured in several high end galleries and collections in many of the major Native Jewelry catalogs and reference books. This is stamped with his hallmark starburst Hallmark and  "David Tune". This is guaranteed to be Sterling Silver and authentic. I have found no defects like broken stones, noticeable scratches, etc. in the Bracelet. It has a warm  tarnish... I believe that you will be pleased! 

The workmanship is exceptional and fine. I love the implementation of the various advanced smithing techniques, the combining of contrasting textures, landscape design, and stamp work. There is even a Coral insert that goes all the way through the bracelet in the center of the arrow head! This is a highly desirable and iconic David Tune piece of jewelry.  

 This amazing Belt Buckle is full of character and will be immediately recognized by many people. When you take a look at the pictures, please inspect the bracelet carefully for the fine detail in both design and execution. Your friends may compliment you and your taste in Native Jewelry.

Thanks!
