Hallmarked: Wayne C. Artist: Wayne Cheama, Zuni. Sterling silver and turquoise. Fantastic vintage cuff bracelet signed "Wayne C." for Zuni artist Wayne Cheama. Made with natural carved and polished stones in random sizes, all are turquoise. Wayne Cheama is the son of Angie Cheama. Wayne began making jewelry in the 1960s. The bracelet measures 2 inches wide and 7 1/2 inches all the way around. It also has 1.5 inch gap (included in measurement above). The total weight is 45 grams (on my kitchen scale) and tests as sterling silver. Very fine condition comfortable. Elegantly crafted by Zuni silversmith Wayne Cheama, has beautiful patina & no damage. Serrated bezel set turquoise are securely mounted. DISCLAIMER: Item sold as is. No visible damage. No cracks or chips; the stones are solidly in place. I am not an expert in native american artists, but I did the research on this one. PLEASE do not attempt to adjust this bracelet, sterling is a soft metal and it could break! Native American artist
