Indian jewelry from around the 1980s.
It bears the "H.S.B" hallmark of Navajo artist Howard S. Begay.
He is from the Arizona side of the Navajo Reservation and has reportedly been making silver jewelry since 1977.
We don't carry much Indian jewelry at TOTO,
but this is a pure solid silver bangle with no stones or engravings whatsoever.
At first glance, would anyone think it's Navajo jewelry? No, they wouldn't. I was completely won over by its minimalism.
The surface has a glossy mirror finish, but it has developed a great patina with vintage-exclusive scratches and slight distortions characteristic of handmade items. This sense of imperfection is the irreplaceable charm of vintage silver.
The quality of the silver is also truly magnificent with a substantial feel. As expected of Indian jewelry, the quality is top-tier. You can tell immediately just by holding it.
It is made of sterling silver with a solid thickness, making it difficult to bend easily. In other words, this bangle is resistant to deformation and can maintain its beautiful curve for a long time.
It has just enough flexibility to be adjusted slightly when putting it on your wrist. I always mention that 925 silver is soft, and that is how I would recommend handling this bangle as well.
However, it is neither too big nor too small, making it a great unisex size.
A thick and wide silver bangle carries a powerful presence even on its own, and it feels like an accessory that bolsters your luck and strengthens your character.
It’s a piece of jewelry that you definitely want to own, and this one is undoubtedly a lifetime treasure.
