Exquisite Craftsmanship and Unmatched Quality

The Tufa casting technique, invented by Navajo silversmiths between 1840 and 1860, is a labor of love that takes approximately three days to complete. This ancient method involves pouring molten silver into a mold carved into sandstone, which can only be used a few times before being ruined by the heat. This dedication to tradition ensures that each cuff is a one-of-a-kind piece of art.
