Cordell Pajarito Mother of Pearl Flower Bracelet

A beautiful cuff featuring corn, butterflies, bees, and a sun and moon on each end. Small piece of coral at center. Tufa is a compressed volcanic ash material. When casting, the artist hand-carves a design into tufa stone – creating a negative space for molten metal to be poured. The use of tufa creates a beautiful, earthy pebble like texture on the silver.

Cordell has been inspired by his father, grandmother, and older brother Joel. Measures 7" overall, 1.75" at widest, 1.15" opening.
