DESCRIPTION:

This is a very gorgeous bracelet that would make a great gift! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo overlay hand crafted by artist Bruce Morgan, out of authentic sterling silver and 14 Karat Gold. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver or gold. One layer forms the foundation, while the second layer is used to design the individual detailed overlay. In this bracelet, the second layer forms wonderful patterns in 14 KG for a beautiful finish. The cuff is stamped sterling, 14K, and is hallmarked by the artist.

Sterling Silver is a metal, which consists of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper. Although any metal can make up the 7.5% of non-silver component, years of study have shown that copper is most compatible, while aiding the solidity and durability of the metal without harming its beautiful color. The small amount of 7.5% copper added to all silver has almost no effect on the metals overall value. Due to the durability of sterling silver it is not only used for jewelry, but household accessories as well. Silver is known to last a lifetime with the proper care.

14KGF is as good as gold. The color will never fade, change, or wear off. It is 14K gold on top of brass and other metals, which create a gold tone with a finish all the way through. 14KGF behaves the same way as gold.
