Darell Cadman Navajo Bracelet

This marvelous Bracelet was made by the talented and famous Navajo artist Darell Cadman using a high level of skill in both design and jewelry construction. This bracelet is signed with his hallmark. "D. CADMAN STERLING" on the reverse. Darell was born in 1969 near Gallup, NM. He learned his craft from David Reeves and has been selling jewelry since the early 1990's. Being related to half brothers to Gary and Sunshine Reeves, he and his brother Andy are part of this group of innovative Navajo jewelers and leaders in some exciting trends. It has a light tarnish on it. The Bracelet looks as it should for having been used lightly by a careful owner. There are no brakes, cracks, chips, noticeable scratches, etc. The rectangular Gem Turquoise Stone is especially fine. I believe it will please you... 

 The design theme in the silver work is a bit different than what you would find today that would feature the "Reeve's  brothers" emphasis on fine and elaborate stamping. The twisted wire is fantastic! It might be just the thing for your collection? It is a very heavy Bracelet for its size and feels just right. I hope you are pleased with what you see... 

As the Navajo say, "Walk in Beauty"

I thank You and look forward to sharing a good experience!
