Beautiful handmade copper jewelry collection featuring a variety of Southwestern designs. Included is a wide Navajo copper cuff bracelet signed "H. Joe," created by a Navajo artisan whose work is recognized for traditional Southwestern styling and handcrafted copper jewelry. Also included is a slimmer Arizona copper cuff bracelet with inlaid turquoise, and a matching copper ring and bracelet set with a classic Thunderbird motif, signed Nakai. Nakai is a well-known Navajo family name associated with numerous Native American silversmiths and jewelry artisans, although the specific artist has not been identified. The lot also includes two pairs of copper earrings—one huggie-style pair and one dangle pair. The copper displays a natural patina consistent with age, which may be polished if desired or left intact for its vintage character. A wonderful assortment for collectors of Southwestern, Navajo, and artisan copper jewelry. Please see photos for signatures, measurements, and overall condition.
