Sonwai Wood Turquoise Lapis Lazuli Silver and Yellow Gold Height Inlay Cuff 2020

About the Item

Ebony, Vermillion wood, Lone Mountain turquoise, lapis lazuli, yellow gold and sterling silver height inlay cuff, with stones and wood set in and raised up at once, by Sonwai, Native American, Hopi, 2020. Inner circumference 5.25" with 1.1" opening. Sonwai began working with her uncle, the great twentieth-century modernist artist and master jeweler Charles Loloma, as his apprentice in the 1960s. She became a leading female master goldsmith and lapidary in her own right, an extraordinary achievement in communities where mainly men made jewelry. Though her birth name is Verma Nequatewa, she works under the artistic name Sonwai, which means beautiful, the feminine counterpart to Loloma in the Hopi language.
