7 3/8\" Wayne Aguilar Santo Domingo Silver and turquoise cuff bracelet

A native of the Santo Domingo Pueblo, Wayne Aguilar grew up watching his parents, renowned silversmiths Earnestine and Tony Aguilar working with brass, silver, coral and turquoise.

Aguilar attributes his talent for unique designs and quality craftsmanship to the influence of his parents and to his Native American heritage. “I am blessed and successful because of my parents’ guidance, says Aguilar.

Aguilar purchase rough stones from traders, then polishes, shapes, designs and incorporates each stone into beautiful pendants, necklaces and bracelets. Often using brass as well as sterling silver to compliment his exquisite turquoise settings, he also likes to add a visual accent to each piece he crafts. His trademark is to add one stone or bead of contrasting color on each side of a necklace or pendant.

All precious metals are tested and guaranteed. A Native American jewelry piece referred to as \"silver\" or \"ingot\" is guaranteed to be at least 90% silver. I rarely use the word \"sterling\" when referring to older Native American silver or really any older silver jewelry as silver contents vary and \"sterling\" is 92.5% silver. No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn\'t an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I\'ve seen thousands of pieces xrf\'d to prove this. Bracelets are photographed on a 6\" women\'s wrist.
