This stamped sterling silver and Mediterranean coral bracelet by Navajo artist Harrison Jim is of the old style.  With its use of the Spider Woman cross, Harrison has conjured a time long ago when Navajo deities walked the earth to assist the five-fingered people.  Harrison’s work is precise and visually pleasing.  No one does stamping better.

Okay, we admit it, we have a weakness for red, whether it’s Ganado Red rugs, traditional ceremonial baskets or Mediterranean coral, we will go right to it. Harrison Jim likely feels the same, since this fabricated cuff bracelet incorporates a fine oval of blood red coral from deep in the ocean. The stamping accentuates the stone and is every bit as nice. Yes, this is a great piece of jewelry.

The art of tufa stone carving and casting can be traced to the early Egyptians.  The globetrotting Spanish discovered it there and brought the art form to our American Indians.  We are uncertain who taught Harrison Jim, but he darn sure mastered the art.  Carving a reverse pattern into volcanic ash is no easy feat; it takes a visionary with steady hands and clear, focused eyes.  Harrison is a master craftsman, and he has great taste in turquoise as well.  This cab of high-grade natural Kingman turquoise has exceptional color and an appealing matrix.  Harrison's combination of top-notch turquoise and exemplary silver work blend beautifully.

Tufa casting is an art not many have developed.  Harrison Jim, however, has learned well.  This water design cuff is cast to last and sports a super piece of Mediteranian coral that will make a Sicilian envious.  Sea what we mean.

Harrison Jim is a silversmith who seems to have been born to the art.  We know he was raised in Gallup, NM, which is the capital of silversmith art.  His mother and grandmother were both high-quality rug weavers, which is where Harrison learned about technical detail.  One of the many nice things about Harrison's work is that he is not afraid to use plenty of silver and super nice stones.  This sandcast bracelet is substantial, and the coral cabochon is top notch.  This bracelet is a classic example of a top-quality Navajo silversmith.
