Baubles, Bling and Handcrafted Things
Maybe it’s because neo-western programming has been on everyone’s Sunday night agenda since 2018, or maybe it’s because there’s a little bit of Beth Dutton lurking inside each of us… or perhaps it’s because the superior craftsmanship and timeless design is finally being recognized and appreciated. Whatever the reason may be – Native American jewelry is hotter than a firecracker on the Fourth of July.
This bangle is SO good. The moment I held it in my hands, I knew I would find a hallmark inside. I could feel the quality. Every single spec of this bracelet is as smooth as silk. There’s not one blemish, not a nick or a crack. It’s perfection.
Etched deep inside the high-polish back of this cuff are three hallmarks. The “sterling” mark speaks for itself and requires no explanation. The center mark was unfamiliar to me. It reads “Supersmith” – not a brand that I recognized. Just a bit of research told me everything I needed to know. Supersmith is a company founded by David Rosales in 1997 in Gallup, New Mexico. Together with his cousin John Delgado, they have created one of the finest contemporary southwest jewelry companies in the world today.
For more than twenty-six years, Supersmith designs have been handcrafted by Native American craftspeople of the Navajo and Zuni tribes. The company is known for unique stone choices and color combinations. This cuff is no exception.
The unbeatable trio of black jade, tigers eye and picture jasper collide in the most magical way. Each geometric piece is cut and inlaid flawlessly. With every turn of the wrist, the gemstones shimmer and the silver shines. It lays on the arm with ease. It’s the epitome of effortless style.
David Rosales Designs and Supersmith pieces are sold in fifty exclusive boutiques and stores all across America. This cuff sells new for $668.00 – a bargain for a truly handcrafted piece of American jewelry. Our bracelet is in mint condition and is the latest addition to our estate department… we are offering it for the unbelievable price of just $375.00. Don’t sleep on this one – it won’t last.
