This is a very exquisite bracelet that must not be overlooked! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo overlay hand crafted by artist Elaine Becenti, out of genuine sterling silver. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of silver or gold. One layer forms the foundation, while the second layer is used to design the individual detailed overlay. In this bracelet, the second layer forms lovely images that depict the every day life style of the Native Americans, which includes landscape scenery, and other fascinating designs. Imprinted patterns highlight the bracelet for a magnificent finish. The gorgeous detail in this piece will be sure to draw plenty of attention! The bracelet is stamped sterling and hallmarked.

Sterling Silver is a metal, which consists of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper. Although any metal can make up the 7.5% of non-silver component, years of study have shown that copper is most compatible, while aiding the solidity and durability of the metal without harming its beautiful color. The small amount of 7.5% copper added to all silver has almost no effect on the metals overall value. Due to the durability of sterling silver it is not only used for jewelry, but household accessories as well. Silver is known to last a lifetime with the proper care.
